Here we go. Mercs are in the mail, and on to the next contest. Up for grabs is a 1984-P Olympics 1oz Silver Commemorative coin PCGS-69. This will be awarded to whomever first guesses, or comes closest to the number of coins in the jar below. For this contest you are allowed 3 guesses. There is no need to PM, just post them below. The 2nd contest will be pretty straight forward, but not very easy. You must decode the message at the bottom of this post. The first person to decode the message wins the Morgan above. If after one week the message is not decoded, I will give the answer, and the prize will go into a later contest. I invite everyone to participate, and wish you all the best of luck. (I apologize for making adjustments from the previous contest). Decoding Contest: -9/559% DO YIP FOS; DROMMR[ GP R;O, S (Solved by rickmp in 33 minutes) = A mile of pennies laid out is $844.80 Good Luck, ~Jason

A mile of pennies laid out is $844.80 Thanks for the contest! I've loved solving ciphers for 50 years now!
It isn't letting me space it out properly when I do the edit. Spaces from left to right are as follows (% and D) (O and Y) (P and F) (; and D) ([ and G) (P and R) (, and S) (Each grouping is a word, number, or phrase).
WOW!! That was fast. Congratulations rickmp!!! PM me your address and the Morgan will be in the mail tomorrow. Incase you all want to know how he solved that, you start from right and go left. Each letter or symbol is one keystroke to the right of the actual letter or keystroke. 1984-P still up for grabs. No new accounts for estimations please. =]
