Barr Dollar Contest..Back on!!

Hello Everyone.....

I really enjoyed the Paper Money Contest we had. The information search was really educational.

I would like to have another one called the Barr Dollar Contest where as the pic posted here will be first prize. I will say that there will be two winners of this contest and 2nd place prize has not been determined yet. Since this note does not fit into my New York collection, what better way to have some fun huh?

I will post a new Thread called the "Barr Dollar Contest" pretty soon so keep an open eye for it!

There will be just ( 2 element's) to this one and I hope challenge you somewhat as well.

The 1st Prize will be a CHCU J.W. Barr dollar my choice of FRB.....(pic is posted in the former Barr Dollar Thread)

Contest starts Sat March 29th at 07:00 AM EST (Eastern Standard Time)
Contest ends Monday March 31 at 7:00 AM (Eastern Standard Time)

You must PM me to be entered into the contest and the deadline for entry is Monday the 25th of March at 07:00 AM

PM's will be accepted starting Thursday 20th March 07:00 AM EST

This will be an informational contest and may pose some difficulty!! Good luck to all.

Will the question be based around the Barr Note theme?

Exclamation About the Contest

Most of you know how I run a contest but for those of you who do not here is a general guideline.

This coming Monday at 7:00 AM (Eastern Standard Time) will end the registration process. If you do not PM me by that time point, you will not be included in the contest.

There will be what I call "Elememts" of the contest. These elements will be in the form of questions that can involve currency and perhaps coins. The questions can be historical, factual, and down right troublesome to look up.
The Winner or winner's ( there just maybe a bonus prize as well) will be the first to complete the Elements in the fastest time!
I determine this by the answers you will PM me that have a computer time stamp on the PM.

This contest is somewhat different than the last due to the fact that I will start it at a normal time, not Midnight as last time. If any of you followed the lats contest the time the contest ran was an important fact and actually earned a prize for Smokemonkey for knowing the time Preas. Lincoln died.

The first element will post at a predetermined time and I will post a notice for all of when the start time is.

Element #2 will post shortly after Element #1 answers are in and the time point has expired for answer submissions to that Element.

Good luck and have fun learning.....

Trust me on this one. It's not about winning but expanding your knowledge about history, coins and notes.

A normal time is a relative thing, don't you think? LOL
