For the last 10 years of my life, I have scoured the universe for counterfeits, fakes, "copy" coins and everything similar including Magician's coins and purposefully altered examples. The contest is simple. How many of these types of coins are in this box?  Prize is the uncirculated 2000 Lincoln Cent WAM pictured below. Winner is the first person to guess correctly the exact number of no-good coins in the box (it is not zero). Answers are to be posted here, and please just one guess each (no edited posts!). If no one gets the number exactly right, the winner will be the closest guess, above or below the correct number, again with whomever guesses it first winning. Must have at least 50 posts to win, and winner will be asked to PM me their address and I will ship the prize at my cost. Contest ends at exactly 10pm eastern time on December 29th, 2025.

Can you shake the box for us ?  For some reason the number 74 just came to mind. So I'll say 74 |

Thanks to all who play! And yes Nickelsearcher, this one was designed to definitely have a winner as I wanted to do something by the end of the year. I won't be giving any hints or clues, so later guesses have no advantage. Good luck!

Yes it's a bat break. They all go to sleep and I get to write end of year reports, which is what I'm doing today while catching up on past posts on CCF. Get my desk cleaned off and I'll get back to posting coins again.
