This posting is just a work-up to the real thing. MODS, please leave this here so all the folks I rattle sabers with will be able to join in on the fun. In order to keep the contest even and fair, I request that one Moderator help me in this endeavor. Standard Forum rules apply, such as you MUST have 50 quality posts to enter Since I have not had any contests as of this date so far, I'm aiming for 3 winners The list of prizes are: 1st - 2020 United States Mint limited edition Silver Proof Set (yes, complete with the ASE) 2nd - 2011-W Proof American Silver Eagle 3rd - Either James Madison or James Monroe Silver 1oz. medal (your choice of one or the other). The Contest: I will simply pick 3 numbers out of 50.
You will post your number pick in the thread. ONLY one number choice per person. No editing or changes please.
After all 50 numbers have been claimed and the contest ends.
Who wins 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, you ask. That's simple. the lowest number is first, middle number is second and the highest number will be third.
Now, THAT is where I need a MOD's help. I would like to send out in advance, the numbers I have chosen - This will eliminate any chance of an appearance of favoritism. J-buck?, Spence?, Forum Daddy? care to help out? The Prizes: 1st  2nd  3rd (pick only one or the other)  Edited by Dearborn

 Those are quite generous prizes!  When will the guessing begin? I suspect the possibilities will be spoken for rather quickly.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Very cool contest and great prizes!
I'm assuming this contest will be posted right at the 2000th post mark?

J-buck?, Spence?, Forum Daddy? care to help out? Sure, I'll help. It sounds like you are going to DM me the numbers ahead of time and then I'll confirm that those are the numbers after the contest is over. Do I have that right? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

This will load up (and close) very, very quickly. Any way the contest can be shaped to ensure the open period can last a day or two? Sounds like fun. Thanks.

Sounds like a great contest but I think you will have all 3 winners in just a few minutes after starting time . Just a suggestion , I would have had ( pic a number from 1-50 ) ; that makes it more challenging and the contest would last a lot longer and be more fun for all .  |

Sometime in the future, 2,000 posts will seem like a distant memory. Keep posting ! Something tells me you must be a classic Ford fan.  |

A truly magnanimous gesture! Not sure how this works but if we're choosing numbers I'd like 15.
Thanks!
