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.

Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

A wise person knows there is something to learn from everyone.

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.

All images have been prepared and I'll put them all through Tinypic later today and maybe even post them.

If anyone else wants to enter, better get it done soon as data should be compiled later today and winner/s will be announced.

Hint, one more person now has the Denomination and the Year correct. :angel:
