[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3793683, member: 83845"][ATTACH=full]1013580[/ATTACH] Once again I am honored to host an ancient coin related game among friends on this fantastic forum. This will be the second time we have played this particular game so if you have any confusion on how the game works after reading the below you are welcome to read through [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-curtisimo%E2%80%99s-epic-holiday-giveaway-game-2017.306505/']2017’s version[/URL] to get a better idea. So without further ado let’s have some coin-fun. [ATTACH=full]1013581[/ATTACH] [B][U][SIZE=7][COLOR=#404040]How the Game Works[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B] I have enlisted the participation of four well known CoinTalk members (plus myself). Each of us has submitted a photo of a coin that we have never posted to the forum along with a brief description of why we included the coin in our collections. See below for the list of members who have agreed to participate. [SIZE=6][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] [USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] [/SIZE] The goal of the game will be for members to try and match each coin with its owner (one of the 5 members listed above). There will be a separate thread for each coin posted every 3 days and each thread will produce a winner. The winner’s name will be chosen at random from the participants in the thread but you can earn multiple chances to win based on the following rules. [LIST=1] [*]Guess who the owner of the coin is and give a reason why you think that. (Ex.: I believe that this coin belongs to Curtisimo because he owns pink socks and thinks a toboggan is a hat.)[SIZE=4][COLOR=#000000] This is the [U][I]minimum requirement[/I][/U] for entry into the drawing[/COLOR][/SIZE]. Please include a reason with your guess! [*]Anyone who posts a photo of an ancient coin along with their guess (related or not) will receive an extra chance to win. [*]Anyone who gives a particularly well thought out or amusing reason why you guessed a certain person will receive an extra chance to win. [*]Anyone who guesses correctly will receive an extra chance to win. [*]Anyone who is a young numismatist (age 18 or younger) will receive an extra chance to win. If you are a YN please say so in your entry post. [/LIST] In total there can be up to 5 chances to win for each member in each thread! [SIZE=7][COLOR=#404040][B][U]The Prizes[/U][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] Prizes will be awarded once all 5 threads have closed and we have 5 total winners. Each winner will be able to choose which of the below prizes he or she wants. The order of choosing will be based on which winner had the most correct matches throughout the game (so it’s best to participate in all threads!). In the event of a tie the number of chances earned will serve as the tie breaker. All coin prizes this year will be a mystery until the winners choose which prize they want.
