I’m starting a new project that involves identifying all the errors I can find on one particular coin type (ie denomination, year).
This is a contest for everyone to guess:
a: denomination
b: year
c: number of different Obv errors
d: number of different Rev errors
I already have the coins sorted, next I'll be doing the images, then editing and cropping, and putting them all through Tinypic, and finally posting the images.
The contest will run until I am ready to post all the images and the person with the most correct and/or closest answers at that time will win a selection of some of the errors shown.
Small hints may be given if no-one is even close and there may also be consolation prizes if there are enough entrants.
Two sets of answers per person per day.
I'll have a guess just for fun, As you know I don''t collect errors.
a: One Penny
b: 1964
c: 20
d: 20
OK i'll have a crack,HaHa

So far three people have got the denomination correct, but only one person has correctly identified both the Denomination and the year.
I've finished taking all the images and have started cropping them.
Ok, so now we know the denomination & 3 year possibilities hmmm which one of the 3 though ?

Alot of nice CUDs there, I find that the 10 cent coins have alot more errors than the other denominations. Thought I'd share that :wavemulticolor:
Matt
I found another small bag with 1999 10c error coins in it, so there's a few more images to come tomorrow.
So far the error counts are Obv 11, Rev 21. There are some that, although they are a little different, I've counted as 1 error if they're 'basically' the same. It was giving me a headache trying to sort it all out, so I decided to send prizes to all 4 of the people that got the Denom + Year correct, so I'll be needing some Postal addresses from Pedro and Mattgold.
I think I've got enworb and accumulator's.
That's a bloody good effort Nevol!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Nancy :yahoo:
Will pm you shortly.
Pedro
I think you need to apply for a job at the RAM as a Quality Controller...........Better still, I shall see Helen at the show tomorrow and see if there is a vacancy........!!!!!
Sweet thank you Nevol, apart from ebay that's the 3rd thing I've ever won in my life woo hoooo:yahoo: You done a great job with all the photos by the way.
Thanks again. Would it be better to wait until a contest is finished before another member wants to post a contest?
Will pm you in a tic with address.
Matt
