    Contest note:

    Since the edit in the previous post was by a moderator, the guess would not be INVALID due to editing, however, since tpattonjr was not a Coin Talk Member on or before May 31, tpattonjr is not eligible to participate in this contest.

    See the Official Rules in the first post of this thread (Rule #8), also see each of the recent spin results for reminders of this rule.

    We had to have this rule to prevent players from registering new IDs to gain an unfair advantage in this contest.

    Tpattonjr: You're invited to participate in our next contest, however. It will be open to everyone who is registered before today's date.

    Hello Slot Players

    Bad news: I am unable to spin the reels tonight
    :so-sad:
    Good news: Let's begin our Contest-Within-A-Contest instead
    :thumb:


    Contest-Within-A-Contest



    Based on images from my recent visit to the 'Carson City Mint'.
    One new image has been added to the gallery today.
    Additional images will be posted following the contest.


    Link for the images and video in the gallery is here:

    --------------------------------------


    The person with the most points earned by correctly answering questions wins ONE NUMISMATIC PRIZE from the list of available prizes in the Spin To Win Contest thread.

    In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the tie-breaker question.

    In the event that tied players post identical answers to a tie-breaker question, an additional tie-breaker question will be posted to determine the winner.

    Anyone eligible for the Spin To Win Contest is eligible for the Contest-Within-A-Contest. Players must have been registered Coin Talk members on or before 5-31-2012 to participate.

    One guess per person only. Guesses must be posted by 11:59pm Pacific Time on Sunday July 8. Players may edit or change guesses for up to 24 hours, but no later than 11:59pm Monday, July 9. Winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 10.

    It is recommended that answers to the Contest-Within-A-Contest be posted separately from Spin Guesses for the Slot Machine, since Spin Guesses are void if edited.

    Please note: Actual coins are shown in only five images in this gallery.
