    The 'other' photo that I took of the Bullion Scales is not yet uploaded to the Gallery. The idea is for you to 'guess' who is in the photograph before you see the photo itself.

    btw: I do plan to 'Spin The Reels' later today. Get your guesses in, if you haven't already.

    Yes, spin guesses are for the next actual spin, and remain current (unless voided by editing or other issue).

    Hello Slot Players


    Contest-Within-A-Contest



    Based on images from my recent visit to the 'Carson City Mint'.
    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.
