My 5,000-st post is coming up and I thought: "Let's have a contest!"
I do know what the prize will be but have not yet decided on the game and rules. Open to suggestions!

Pick the person with the closest number of posts to 1000 or more. How does that sound?

Looking forward to the contest.

Suggest you browse the 'ended' contest forum to get ideas on how prior members formatted their contests. All have been creative and fun.

Not a bad idea. However, I say he should pick the person closest to 14,200 posts.

Or maybe the person that lives furthest (farthest) away from you.

I am not sure if I can ship abroad, triggersmob. Maybe I need to restrict shipment to North America...
For what the game is, I may do a version of "20 Questions"...

How about something involving 1973? You could pick a number and have people post their coins from 1973. Whoever posts a coin with KM# closest to your number wins.

This is coming from a person (Hondo) who owns millions of 1973 coins..

Not true! Probably not more than a hundred.
NumisEd could limit it to one entry per person or per day.

You win the coin if you guess correctly after 20 questions?

Believe me, someone will come up with the correct answer after your first question, 'game over'.
Something like, "I can guess that tune in one note"...

I could do "Guess the Date" (and it not being 1973...).
