Just incase some of you missed the thread leading up to this point

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

At stake most of you know already is an undisclosed gold coin. It is the only gold coin in my collection, and while it doesn't quite fit my tastes, I'm sure there is someone out here that would enjoy it if nothing else, just the bullion value right??


So the big question how do YOU stake a claim on this piece of gold... Well its gonna be a round robin sort of thing... The poll I posted in the last thread showed there was a lot of interest in a lot of different things, and while there where a few ideas that got a lot of votes, it is noteworthy to mention that every idea had a least 3 votes!!! So this contest is going to incorportate bits and pieces of some of the ideas presented by you all in the last contest I sponsored. There is going to be a lot of variety including coin trivia, some puzzles, some riddles, some coin grading, and I'll try to come up with a reasonable approach to a story, but with some interesting twists along the way including some tasks that will be accomponied by bonus prizes... This gives everyone a chance to join in have some fun, as I expect no-one will be an expert at every task so that kinda levels the playing field a little, HIT YOUR STRONG POINTS HARD. First one to hit 100 points takes the GOLD!!!

At the end of each stage of the contest, the winner will be awarded his points, and additionally will also have his name entered into into a random drawing at the end of the FREE GOLD contest for a 2nd place prize of a American Silver Eagle, additionally, ALL contestants will be placed into a random drawing for an undisclosed "Bronze" 3rd place prize that will be well worth the effort!!!

I will tally points and post them frequently so you all can see the standings...When it is all said and done the person with the most points walks away with the gold!

ABOVE ALL HAVE FUN! PLAY NICE, AND NEVER EVER GIVE UP HOPE OF WINNING!!! Keep your eyes peeled as I'll be hiding a few things in other threads throughout the contest (they should be fairly obvious)... Maybe putting up some riddles (maybe not so obvious) elsewhere around the forum using alias user names that could be found and redeemed for bonus points!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So incase there was any confusion I hope this clarifies...

As I said the next stage of the contest and your next opportunity to win bonus points is coming soon an can be anytime tonight!!

 

The Next Phase!!

This phase of the contest is going to be a little bit more on the random side for those of you who when polled just wanted something simple!!

Now, simply guess the total value of the coins! Keep in mind, there are dollars, halves, quarters, nickels & cents in the mix NO DIMES!!! The person with the closest guess, WITHOUT GOING OVER, of the total amount of $$ in the jar wins 10 bonus points 2nd closest gets 7 bonus points, 3rd place gets 5 bonus points, 4th place gets 3 bonus points, 5th place gets 1 bonus point!

As always, keep your eyes out around the forum for my helpers, wife, alias’s who will offer tips, hints, and more point opportunities!!

Rules: Guess or try to logically calculate the total amount in US dollars and cents for example: $14.32

You (each contestant) may submit 3 guesses total, do them all at once or spread them out, its up to you.

As always, do not edit your posts or it will be disqualified to eliminate accusations of cheating!

NOW... The added bonus on this round is, If you guess the EXACT amount in the jar you win the jar itself with all the cash included inside it! Yes, I’ll send it to you!!

The first picture shows the jar with coins, the second photo has the actual amount hidden behind the photoshoped yellow blob, once this portion of the contest is over I will show the full photo that has the actual $$ amount beneath it!

I think that should be it on the rules and info needed... Let me know if you have questions! Guesses will be accepted for the next 48 hours!! Tuesday at 8:45 PM Alaska time this portion of the contest will end.
