This is a simple contest with a rather small prize. It is opened to anyone with 50 or more posts.

I've just opened an uncirculated roll of 1980 Canadian pennies. I laid them out one at a time as they were in the roll. Some were heads up, and yes, you guessed it, the rest were tails up. Guess how many heads up there was. Or, if you prefer, how many tails up there was.

Prize: Half the pennies from the roll (25).
Guesses : One per day, starting each day at 6am EST.

Here's a pictures of the pennies. They are UNC but do not expect any MS65's in the lot. I'll pick out the best ones for the winner.

NOTE:
This roll appears to have an issue with grease on the die. They are certainly UNC, MS coins, but the top of the large leaf is damaged on all of the ones I have looked at so far. One might even be able to follow the progression through the roll.

SO...
If the winner would like the entire roll they are welcome to it. Or instead I will send a different unopened roll of pennies from the same year (1980).

Good Luck Everyone.

Ok, I've put them all into each their own little baggie, my gloves are off, and I'm heading to bed. I wish the condition of the coins was better but I started to contest before I looked at them. Maybe the next roll will be nicer.

Thank you all for coming out. See you all at 5:30 am.
