Here's the contest, I'm looking for the coin that traveled the greatest distance. Winner will receive a silver walking Liberty half!
Rules:
1) The contest ends at 11:59:59 on April 1st 2016
2) All entries must be found using a metal detector
3) All entries must be found from now until April 1st 2016. You may NOT use previous finds.
4) All entries must be traceable to their mint of origin. If unknown due to ambiguity or multiple mints, the coin will not be considered.
5) All entries must include a photo of the coin posted to this thread. In addition, your location of the find and the mint location must be included in your submission.
6) All contestants must obtain in miles the distance between your find and the coins point or origin (mint). For instance, I live in North Platte, Nebraska and find a 1985 D penny. As the crow flies, it's approximately 240 miles from North Platte to Denver. The distance must be included or your submission is discarded.
7) Enter as often as you wish.
8) All are welcome to submit for bragging rights, but unfortunately I will only ship to a North American address. You European guys have an unfair advantage.
9) In The unlikely event of a tie, the NEWER coin wins! Hey, It took lesser time to travel the distance.
10) If mileage is disputed, I will use the locations provided in the disputed post and use google earth to determine distance. I then will have the final say.
Much the best!
