Throughout the last week I've felt like I've been due for another contest. I wasn't anywhere near a landmark on my post count and so this contest is just because.

As a numismatist, I am constantly sending coins out and getting them back. Your job as a contestant is to guess when I will have received my next eight coin-related items of mail. These can be anything (i.e. coins, I'm expecting a couple Dansco albums, etc). I'm not expecting all these at once so I guess the date your guessing is when the eighth coin-related item will arrive. Please have your dates in the following format: mm/dd/yy.

I will post each time I receive a coin-item so you know how close we are getting.

Only one guess per member unless the date you guessed is already passed in which case you may guess again. I will only take the first person to guess a date. If someone has already guessed your date, please choose another.

The Goods: A small French type set.
Just-Because-Contest---Ended!

Items received so far:
#1: 06/06 $1 and $2 Australian Dansco albums
#2: 06/07 Payment for coins sold at auction
#3: 06/09 Brazilian and Canadian coins from nohope
#4: 06/10 A couple Philly mint quarters from Onemoreroll
#5: 06/12 A couple of Australian coins from Spedward
#6: 06/13 Payment for a coin auction
#7: 06/13 A batch of world coins
#8: Mercury dimes, Franklin half dollar and Mercury dime micro "s" purchased from desertgem

Winner is deadmunny who was correct in guessing that the eighth package would be received 06/14!


Deadmunny, please pm me your mailing info.
