As with every contest, you must have the 50 post minimum required for PMs in order to participate.
Also, you must be somewhere I can mail to from the US.




It's been a while since I've done a contest so I've been looking forward to a good milestone to hold one. Unfortunately the timing is not perfect. I am not currently at home to delve deep into my hoard for some good contest prizes, so the quality of the potential prizes is not as high as I would like. But considering my posting trends it will definitely be a while until I hit 5000, so it's now or never.

I want this to be fun for everyone and be something anyone would want to participate in regardless of if there was a prize or not, so this will be a show-and-tell contest!

I have generated a random year from 1900-1999 on random.org (I have a timestamped screenshot of this year for the conclusion of the contest) and I want you to post pictures of coins in your collection from this 100-year span.

You can post 1 coin per day starting tomorrow, October 31st.

It can be any coin but it 1) must be in your collection and 2) must be dated to a specific year, no multi year coins.

The first person who posts a coin from the year I randomly pulled on random.org will win a prize of their choice.

I will not announce when there is a winner right away. I will wait until the following day to allow for more coins to be showed and telled.

Now for the prizes:

The winner can choose one (1) of the following coins:

1. Olbia Dolphin (500-300 BC)
2. Trajan Roman Sestertius (98-117 AD)
3. Gallienus Roman Antoninianus (260-268 AD)
4. Ivan Stratsimir Bulgarian Grosh (1356-1396 AD)
5. 2006-P 25c Colorado Reverse Cud
6. 2022-P 25c Maya Angelou VDDR-002

(I chose a very diverse set of prizes, hopefully there's something there interesting to everyone)

Thanks for the contest, and fun idea! Surprised that more haven't participated yet. I'll throw my hat in with a 1946-S Washington.

What a fun idea and contest. Thanks Tanman.

How about some more copper-plated zinc before it evaporates?

Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Very nice coins so far! I don't know why I didn't expect there to be so many errors and varieties lol.

It's Day 2 and time for a new coin (year). I don't see that 1955 has been played - so here you go
