Young Numismatists challenge starting May 15, 2022

#1 Unread post by DSCoins »

Starting on May 15, 2022, in consultation with Daniel the Young Numismatists on this Forum will get a chance to win some Numismatists items. Those eligible for this challenge are anyone who is 20 years old or younger.

How is this going to work?
On the fifteenth of every month there will be a question posted. The first person to answer it (within 24 hours) correctly will win the prize. The first person will be determined by the time listed on their post.
After the winner is decided Daniel will contact them about where to send the item that they have won.

Again, this is only for Young Numismatists. Young Numismatists are considered anyone who is 20 years old and younger.

It doesn't matter where you live, you can enter the contest. It's about age not location.

Welp, I'm now "Doubtful" because we're preparing for another trip (This time, it's in Texas) that is expected to start in June.

I'm back in Oklahoma, it was mostly a peaceful route back home. (Driving was good, except others who tried to mess it up)
