When there was originally a $100 cap on the tournament (which was apparently against CT rules) the value category was meant as a way to reward unusually good cherry picks. Without the cap I left it in thinking that it would be a good equalizer between high end and budget entries.

As Doug pointed out a $1,000 coin should be 100X more interesting and beautiful than a $10 coin to win this category. When you have two coins that are both great value and in the same price bracket it becomes less meaningful. At the end of the tournament I will open this thread up for suggestions on what we can improve for next year's tournament. Glad you're having fun Agricantus and welcome to the forum :-)[/QUOTE]
