Copper Contest For All Penny Lovers...dont Miss This One!

I am new to the forums and have been enjoying myself here. I have seen many collectors just starting their first sets and thought this would be a perfect way to help them out... I might be new the the boards but I am NOT new to collecting coppers.



Here it is........


Objective- Stacking pennies. Stacked as high as you can in a single penny footprint. No gluing, no props or other BS funny business.

Nothing other than a good flat surface, and CLEAN DRY COINS PENNIES stacked on top of each other. No leaning your stack against the wall, NO CHEATING. I wont argue details with someone trying to put one over on everyone. I want this to to be a clean and fair fight to the top. Keep reading, I think I have made it very worth your while to see what you can do...



Materials- Only US small cents may be used for construction.

Proof- Clean crisp pictures, at LEAST 2 pictures of from each entry of their finished stack with a ruler or tape measure easy enough for everyone to read. Pics preferably from different angles to help prove your case that your stack is legit. Pictures do not have to be perfect, but need to be clean enough to prove your case if challenged. Entire stack in view.

In the event of a tie, then I decide the winner based on attention to detail and effort. Crowd is welcome to give input too in the case of a tie but this has never happened before so it is all about YOU.

Deadline- Contest ends Sunday August 15th at noon Forum time so don't wait until last second. It is much harder than it looks.

Prizes! Aside from the bragging rights and fame from the other roll searching animals such as yourself, you will ALSO get...
