This contest is based on a contest on another website. Although this contest is not official, I hope it will be recognized by numista.
RULES:
1: Every member can enter up to three coins in the following categories:
A. US Coins
B. European Coins
C. Middle Eastern Coins (According to this website)
D. Asian Coins (Not Middle East or Australia and South Pacific)
E. African Coins (Not Middle East)
F. North And South American Coins (Not US)
G. Australian and South Pacific Coins
H. Ancient Coins
I. Other (Tokens, Medals, Fantasies, etc.)
You can only enter one coin in each category.
2. In order to submit your coin(s), you will have to have a high quality photograph, or a scan, of your coin. No need to crop it, I will do that myself. PM me your picture(s). In order to be in the contest, you must submit your coin before November 5, 2012.
3. Voting is quite simple, every member gets one vote for every sub-round. You may vote on your own coin.
4. The sub-rounds will be determined by how many coins are entered. I will only have this contest if there are more than 4 coins in each category. Category I may be eliminated if I receive less than 4 coin for that category. If Category I is eliminated, Category H may also be.

Remember, you can enter up to three coins. And by "Remember, remember the fifth of November" are you referring to Guy Fawkes Night? I thought it was November sixth!
If you want to submit a coin from Palestine into the Middle East section, you have to make sure that it is from Palestine (British Mandate), and from before 1948. If it is from after 1948, it was issued by "Palestine" which does not exist, and never existed, and therefore its "coins" fall under Category H, not Category C.
Yep. I guess everyone in America (except the native Americans) doesn't really belong...
yeah, most black americans will have probably been slaves that were freed and all the others exept the indians like you say were foreigners, still cant help but think england the founding member of the empire has the bum deal LOL prisoners sent to australia and america :(

I'm a bit miffed that the Australaisia and the Pacific doesn't rate a mention and can't be added into the "Other" category since you've stated thats for tokens, medals and fantasies. Half my coins are from the pacific and Australasia.

The contest is being extended to November 15th. I wanted the first sub round to coincide with the US Election Day, but there are not enough coins entered, and tomorrow is November 5th.
As another way to get more coins, I will let every member enter up to five coins. However, you can only enter one coin in each category. Also, I am modifying the categories.
Here are the new categories:
A. European Coins
B. Middle Eastern Coins (According to this website)
C. Asian Coins (Not Middle East or Australia and South Pacific)
D. African Coins (Not Middle East)
E. North And South American Coins
F. Australian and Pacific Islands Coins
G. Other (Tokens, Medals, Fantasies, etc.)
If you want to enter Ancient Coins, I will put them in their appropriate category (ex: a Roman Coin goes to Category A (Europe).
Please, I need more entries. Neilithic, if you don't enter a coin in the Australia and Pacific Islands category, I will combine it with Asia. This contest will be CANCELLED if I don't receive more submissions.
I also confirm that I will participate in the contest by entering 1 coin in each category, before the deadline. Tonight I have chosen the coins and this weekend in daylight I will make pictures.

If you are wondering what I did, I raised the minimum to 6.
There isn't one but it's an AE3, Valentian 2nd, AD 375 - 392.
I'd enter it but after all the recent ill-tempered public outrage over incomplete entries, I think I'll pass on new entries until a degree of civilty is restored. I don't have access to the reference books for ancient coins and don't intend to be pilloried for omiting the RIC#.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.
Make Numismatics Great Again!
