Win A 1964 Silver Proof Set CONTEST!!

#1 Unread post by Daniel »

PLEASE read these rules! Thanks!

Here's a chance to win a 1964 US Silver Proof Set. You must be a member of the forum and it is free to sign up and be the first to correctly answer each question. If no one answers all the questions correctly then it will go to the person who guesses the most correctly. In the even of a tie there will be a drawing between them for the winner and the runner up will receive a nice Mercury Silver Dime in AU condition.

All of these questions are coin related and they're kinda like riddles.

1. His wife was not happy about something. Who's wife and what was she upset about?

2. He followed Franklin. Who is he?

3. What does 90 and 40 signify?

4. Only 62,350 where minted. What coin is it?

5. From 1964 through 2016 what date didn't appear on a Kennedy Half Dollar?

6. What half dollar (not an official commemorative) was struck with silver, clad and gold planchets?

7. What years were proof Kennedy Half Dollars not struck?

OK, there you have it. Now let's have some fun! Also the prizes were donated by a long standing and active member but I wont say whom until they tell me it's OK. However, I appreciate more than they know!
