Hey guys!
It's trivia time!
The rules are pretty simple.
Below are 5 trivia questions about numismatics. Your goal is to figure out the answers, and then DM me. DO NOT post them in the comments below, as this may give some other people the answers. You have one attempt at getting the answers right. Everyone who gets the answers right by Friday, February 17, 2017 will be entered into a random drawing. The winner gets the PRIZE OF WINNING :) Yay! But in reality, the victory is bragging rights. You can put it in your signature if you wish and I will back you up.

I will announce the winner on February 18, 2017. I will also announce everyone who got the questions right AND the correct answers to all the questions. If you have any questions about the giveaway, DM me.
P.S. All the answers to the questions are possible to find online. No other resources required!

Here we go:

1) On April 17, 1934, B. Max Mehl ran auction #88 that included coins from "Mr. H. Dale Kuhn, Mr. J.R. Hammerle, and Others". What is the date and grade of lot 175?

2) Since what year has Joel Rettew Sr. been a professional coin dealer?

3) How many First Edition, Deluxe copies were made of American Numismatic Literature by Charles Davis?

4) Who is the first listing in American Numismatic Biographies (2017) by Pete Smith, and where were they born?

5) Who was the secretary of the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association as of January 2004?

That is all of the questions! Remember, don't post the answers below! Just DM me! Enjoy!

    I dunno if I'd call obscure questions that require research "trivia"..

    Trivia to me is a difficult question that you could potentially know the answer.

    An example would be "Who were the founders of PCGS", a question that not everyone can answer without googling (but some people can!)

    if we all switch to GEICO, we could save 15% or more on car insurance.

    1) Is it a 1909 V.D.B. PR65RB, I mean MS65RB?


    Later, Paul.

    Stooge, you can't change your answer. Your first pick was a 1909 v.d.b. PR65RB. So that's it. Otherwise you'd be cheating. Momma don't allow no cheatin' round here.
