    A1K contest...

    Since we are all following Angel's quest for his 1000th silver coin of the year, I thought I might make it a little more interesting.

    The prize... 1 Morgan silver dollar and 1 silver war nickel. rofl



    The rules...

    Guess what type of coin and date of the 1000th silver coin Angel will recover for the year will be.

    Here's an example.... 1898 dime.

    Whoever is the closest and earliest entry for the denomination, then the date, will win the prize.

    If three people guess 1901 quarter... and his 1000th is a 1901 quarter, the earliest post gets the prizes.

    Contest is open to everyone... even Angel, as long as you make your guess before you dig the coin.

    Good luck everyone!!

    That might entice me lol

    However I have an unfair advantage, as I know where in terms of location he is going in order to dig his remaining coins and I know what type of coins he tends to dig there.
