At the moment, I have 820 coins in my collection. I would like to start a contest to guess my 1000th coin. Every member can only guess once. Your guess must be a specific Numista page, with a year (and a mintmark and variety, if applicable). Of course, I don't expect you to guess the exact coin, the winner will be whoever is closest. Voting will close once I hit 980 coins.
The winner will receive a prize.
The contest is closed and there is a winner!

The way I did that: I found which country he has the most coins from. I found the avg. date from that country. I found the most common face value from that country. And boom.

Aha,
but I thought that you are talking about some coins from my collection.
Well, there is nothing bad in having double coins for swap, I think.

That's not a bad option. 
But sometimes it is better to swap double coins for some other coins that you don't have...just saying.

Actually, my favourite 20th century coin is this... but the Latvian one would be best silver, probably.

It turns out the winner, Tom Wolf, is no longer active on Numista. If he ever comes back I'll give him a prize.
Meanwhile, here is my 1000th coin, guessed exactly by Tom Wolf!
