4 posts in this topic

Here are the rules ladies and gents: If you figured out all the accompanying questions to the clues, and have the answers, post on this thread PM sent, and send your answers to me via PM only- DO NOT POST ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD PLEASE or that will disqualify you. You can only submit one time. This post is listed here, and ATS. The first PM, here, or, ATS with all the questions below the clues answered correctly, and in their entirety, will receive (1) roll containing an unknown amount of WDDR-002, WDDR-003A’s, and WDDR-003B’s. I have no idea of what any one roll contains. I have found 27 such DDR’s out of 7 rolls searched out of this lot. A few rolls contained a couple, and some had up to five. None of the rolls I searched were duds. So, you are bound to find at least a few, or, possibly more but I can give no guarantees what you might find. A few of the rolls had a few 2015-D’s, go figure.

 

A few helpful hints in solving the clues: The six clues follow from first to last a sequence with denominations, starting with first clue -1c, second clue -5c, third - 10c, etc., continued to $1.

 

Tools necessary for solving clues: Would be necessary to have access to a 2001 54th edition Red Book for one clue, and a Cherrypickers 5th addition, vol. II would be helpful for one other clue. Five of the six are listed in Coin World price guide. Search the internet, or, utilize your own resources. I’ll announce winner Sunday 7pm EST. if there is one; if not, I’ll keep giveaway open till November 25th, 7pm EST. I’ve marked the 8 rolls I have- 1 through 8, winner can pick one number they want. Enjoy your searching, and good luck!
