I was going to follow in the footsteps of everyone else with the "posts" contests, but I don't post all that much. Instead, I'm going to start a new kind of contest: a brick search contest. Here's how it works:

I will be getting a fresh brick tonight. Anyone that comes closest to the first major variety (year and variety) I pull from the brick, wins. Mind you, by first major variety, this means anything listed on Coppercoins.com, sans doubled statue/column types. This can also include MAD clashes, trail dies, RPMs, WAMs and CAMs.

In the event no major variety is found, the winner will be determined from me grabbing a random cent from the "done" pile, and seeing who matches first. If multiple users have the same date, each winner (up to 5) will split the prizes (essentially a coin for each winner).

The prize? I'll hand-select a few of my nicest trail dies to bestow upon you ;)

See, this contest is a win-win for everyone. The winner gets some nice trail dies in exchange for helping me focus my searching skills. I have a *horrible* habit of skipping certain dates, or focus on one set of dates in particular. This little contest will help me broaden my focus, so (A) I don't miss anything I *should* be searching for and (B) the winner gets some sweet coins in exchange for their help ;)

The years that have already be stated are no-brainers... only DDO/DDRs really exist for the dates given (plus some minor trails). But yes, year *AND* variety need to be listed here. In the event I find no varieties (unlikely), a random year will be pulled and matched to the winner.

Winners will be announced no later than Friday (or when the brick ends). Family has been sick, and this is going to be one of the slowest bricks ever, lol. Still accepting guesses until Friday. Thanks again everyone for the encouragement. You guys helped me track down a '96 DDO-001 ;)

Still accepting entries folks, as I'm doing some searching tonight. Only got 2 rolls into the brick last night before the 96 DDO popped out. I quit after that out of sheer excitement. Should have a winner by tonight!
