Newb Contest

[willbrooks]

As I am getting Jody's and David's prizes together from the last contest, I decided to go ahead and have another contest right away. However, this contest is for the newbs only! I will make it open to registered users or members with fewer than 50 posts. Also, if you are new to the forum, but already well versed on these, please disqualify yourself. The whole object of this is for the newer folks to have to research what these might be and learn something! This time, I will say go ahead and post your answers directly here in the thread, so we can all get to know you a little as well. Feel free to introduce yourself and express your collecting interests if you haven't done so before. The first person with all 6 correct answers will win the 6 coins. There may even be an undisclosed bonus of some kind for the winner. I will allow multiple answers, but only one attempt per day please.
Please name what it is that makes each of the coins "collectible," or "not normal" if you will. I am a stickler for correct terminology, so no credit will be given for incorrect terminology. There are lots of great references right here on the home page and in the glossary to assist you, as well as the search feature at the top. Also, special thanks to Peter for donating some great prize material! Good luck!

I don't know if I qualify as a newb. I have been here 8 months and have 10 posts.
anyway I thought I would give it a shot and please nobody laugh.
i have collected coins multiple time starting when I was a teen but sold off my collection for who knows what . probable gas those Camaros sure seemed to use a lot
I started collecting again when I was in my30s and collected everything from large cents to Morgan dollars around 2008 I just got burned out on coin collecting and sold it all
I just recently in the last year and a haf that I decided to try it again and this time stick to just lincoln cent with a few exceptions
on to the answers.

edit: deleted answers by moderator.

I hope this is close or at least gave you a good laugh.
if you feel I am not qualified for the contest just delete the post
thanks
Billy

HAHAHA! You are way off!! :tinysmile_twink_t: Just kidding, Billy! Nothing to laugh at, because you got them all correct! Way to go! Congrats. I was starting to wonder if anyone would even try. Please PM me your address and I'll get these out to you in the mail! We will have be having more contests coming up so stay tuned!

Great job Billy!

[Billy]

You don't have to send them to me. I was just curious to see if I could actually identify them. you guys should be proud of yourselves that you could actually teach me to identify these coins. Before I found this site I was only searching for errors and varieties that were in the red book or in my older CPG book.

Thanks
Billy

Well, the coins are yours, so we'll do whatever you want with them. If you don't really want them, I will erase your answers and leave the contest open for someone else. If you decide you want them, just send me a PM. You could always pass them along to another new person yourself and maybe spark a new interest in collecting! As for now, I will say this contest is back open!

[Billy]

I would like to donate them back to the contest. let the contest live!

[willbrooks]

This contest is still open for any of you new guys who wish to give it a go.
