OK Guys it's time to have some more fun with the now World Famous "Cookie Coins" that I find at The Shark Pit! Many of you have asked me when we were going to have another contest, so here it is! We had some good contest last year & this year should be Better! All these coins are from my six trips (so far) this year to the Shark Pit. You have 6 cookie coins to guess and the prizes are a new Treasure Net “Metal Detective” Hat, a Sharks Tooth & a cookie coin from The Pit! Some of you have seen the Electrolysis experiments that myself, Floater, Conservator & AF1733 have done on these coins in the Cleaning & Preservation section of this site. Well, I will try it again on these coins & see what happens! I'm no pro & we may not be able to read all the dates & other marks but we should be able to tell what kind of coin they are & with any luck a date and mint mark! Or, they just might crumble. But what ever happens you all will see the pictures right here! I thought it might be fun to see if anyone can guess what they will turn out to be. You can guess what denomination the coin is (like penny, nickel, dime, quarter…) what kind of coin (like Wheat penny, Merc. Dime, Barber Quarter…), date on the coin and mint mark. So there are 4 things you can get right. You get one point for everything you get right about each coin. So if the coin turns out to be a 1923d merc. dime. And Joe guesses 1923d merc. dime and Tom just guesses 1923 dime. Than the score would be Joe 4 Tom 2. I noticed last time that people would just guess dime or quarter. You should try to guess as much info. as possible. The CLOSEST guess wins the Hat, Sharks Tooth & Cookie Coin Free including shipping! If there is a tie, we will break it with other coins. The coins are numbered 1 -6 on the pictures. Be sure to put a number with each coin you guess. I will leave this contest open to guesses for at least 24 hours. One guess post per person. I will be back later with more Pictures! So here are the “before” pictures of all 6 coins. Start guessing NOW! Here’s a Hint: If you read my threads from the Shark Pit this year, they should be able to help you have a good guess of what denomination of coin they may or may not be, and what “years” they may or may not be! Here are the links to those threads! http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,38606.0.htmlhttp://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,38229.0.htmlhttp://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,38031.0.htmlhttp://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,37471.0.htmlhttp://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,37274.0.htmlhttp://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,31936.0.htmlGOOD LUCK!
