To celebrate me passing through 30,000 posts in the 3.5 years of being a member here, I decided to have yet another Contest.

To join this contest, you must have greater then 50 posts and have been a member of CCF for 3 months
Anyone can enter from around the world, but be advised, there are some countries I cannot send to due to things like current events and the such.

The prizes you ask?
First Prize in a Lighthouse Grande - Bunder (a nice 3-ring binder to hold the Guardhouse 2x2 Archival Pages (100 count) Both are brand new still in the manufacture Wrapping.
Second Prize are 3 quarters from my collection - 3 very well circulated 1932 P,D,S Washington quarters in 2x2 holders.
It is simple I picked a date and a country.
All you have to do guess the date and the country I'm thinking of. But Please also type in your guesses (year and country)

There will be 2 prizes.
1. Guessing the date wins First Prize
2. Guessing the Country wins Second Prize
3. Guessing both - well, you will get both
Pretty Simple, no?
Here are the prizes:
Dearborn's-30,000-Post-Contest---Ends-May-14th-5pm-Eastern Dearborn's-30,000-Post-Contest---Ends-May-14th-5pm-Eastern
Dearborn's-30,000-Post-Contest---Ends-May-14th-5pm-Eastern
Dearborn's-30,000-Post-Contest---Ends-May-14th-5pm-Eastern

Well here is how we go about guessing the date and Country:

Post up an image of a coin with the date and the Country showing.
You only need to post up one side of the coin to do this IF the 2 pieces of information is on the same side, otherwise - post up both sides.

The Date range for this evolution is from 1900 to 2024 AD and be sure to use coins from around the world.
1. ALL coins posted MUST be struck in the English Language (I do need to be able to read them)

Line Item is here-by deleted don't worry about the language they are struck in.
1. A coin being presented can be in any written language so long as the translation of the country and date is provided - Please post the date and country on the first line of a post above the image you provide.
2. You MUST Own the coin you post (have it in hand) - to prove this your coin must be placed on a small piece of paper with your username on it and be readable in the post.
3. You can guess only 2 times a day once in each time frame Forum time - The time frames are 0000AM to 1159AM and from 1200PM to 1159PM.
4. You CANNOT edit your posts - if you make a mistake, delete the post and re-submit it
5. Any edited posts will not be counted.
6. Guesses without a coin image will not be counted.
7. Images without the username beside the coin in the image will not be counted.
8. If a guess is repeated, then the first guess in will be counted.

I'll let this run until both things have been correctly guessed or 1 week - which ever come first.
IF, at the end of one week, (next Tuesday May 14) there are no 100% correct guesses, I'll take the closest date and nearest country to the one I have preselected.

So, to put an end time on this, it will be Tuesday May 14th at 1700 (5PM for you civilians) Forum time

Lets have fun and good luck!

Go time is NOW!!

So, should I edit my post to indicate country and year, or is my initial image submission satisfactory?

2006, Canada. I just found this one in the bottom of a circulation world coin hoard. It's an NCLT coin. Bonus.

Redo, and deletion required. You broke rule #5. No sweat to fix it though.

Yes, delete your 2 posts and re-submit a new post. You have time to fix it.
Also please read rule 2.

On a side note, when you edit a post that edited tag line is permanent, you can't get rid of that

It's so unfortunate that someone finally shamed you into a contest.
But in all seriousness, congratulations, Dearborn! Many thanks for the contest, but even more for the 30,000+ fantastic contributions to the CCF along with your fellowship and camaraderie!
