a challenge to the board members...(finished! Winner chosen)

its4real

well - I have decided to put up my own site and offer stuff that won't sell here or on E-bay for time immemorial on my new site.

It is: CoinsandCards

Original, eh?

Anyway - here is the challenge.... the picture in the upper left hand corner of the main headline banner....hmmmm....what is it?

The first who posts the correct guess - to the year - will receive, from me, postage paid, and well packaged (better than Russ's friends)...

a PCGS MS66RD Lincoln 1974 D...from me ----FREE!!!

Put on yur thinkin' caps and see if you can figur' it out!!! All guesses count and the answer MUST be posted here.

I'm self imposing a time limit of 5 days on this littlegame.

p.s. I may throw in a few extra goodies, too

8 reales, 1742.

8 reales would be a silver coin, Al. You're probably thinkin' of an 8-escudo piece.

Looks vaguely like an early-1500's French Ecu d' Or au Soleil of Francois I that I once had, but that was not a dated coin. Al's closer to the truth, I suspect. That does look like a quatrefoil in the picture.

Hey man it looks like a "thingamajig" to me. Your "cards" link sends me to the "coins" page.

its4real

Robert - I fixed that

Placid

A button that fell off a coat.

ursabear

its4real - the site is shaping up quite nicely!

I'm going to take a wild guess and say a gold dubloon.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but I'm a sucker for a contest.

dpoole

Darkside coin?? That's cheating!

JJacks

its4real, I think I have got you beat on the Sportcard inventory just a bit so far on my site!

I have no idea what your coin is, so I won't even venture a guess, but good luck with your site!

yo, lord M

i pulled that one totally outa...............my hat!!!! i did my PCGS 8-second-grade-impersonation and when i first saw the coin it looked like one of the pieces-of-eight. i never even considered the color, but of course i know those were silver. just my haste to post, i guess. and as for the date, that would be the wild hair variety, the guess i mean!!!!

CLASSICS

its a hub cap off of a 1957 plymouth.

its4real

ahhh - Keets- matey.....

The color is INDEED silver - just took it under incandescant lighting so it looks golden...another clue!

It is a blazing silver under sunlight...which we have had solittle of here lately

Wish it would get sunny agin....

its4real

That looks like the foil seal from a wine bottle.

To the best of my ability to interpret what the foil says... Probably came off a wine bottle. I don't drink alcohol so if my assumption is correct, I cannot say (or guess further)

DirtroadRider

Ugh, Let me think on this one...
