I will have a lot of difficulty with sending out a prize if a winner is not determined by around October 20 As I do not plan to bring my collection to AF Officer school.

I appreciate the PMs about the prizes (and trust me they are very nice so far). If people want to PM me regarding what they plan to give that would be great, but please don't feel like you have to. As it gets narrowed down more and more I may tempt the players who are left with tidbits of info as far as prizes they are playing for... As people PM me I will keep a list of the kings ransom.

As far as sending the prizes, I assume the winner will be fine sending me their address so I can disperse it to the other players via PM and each player will mail the gift to the winner. I think that makes it more fun because the winner will get a steady stream of packages in the mail and it saves from being mailed twice (once to me and then again to the winner).

Hi again ... yah, I'm not sure how we do this, but I quickly searched around and came-up with two possibilities that I figured would be "good-enough" prizes for an NFL pool:

a) a newer coin (a 2011 Canadian Silver $20 face-value coin, which I actually purchased for $20, but is now already apparently worth $33) ... 200,000 minted

b) an 1872 "Newfoundland" 20 cent piece (VG-F) ... 90,000 minted ... also currently worth approx $30

NOTE: The remaining "11" contestants should/could vote on which coin they'd prefer, otherwise the newer silver-coin is on its way (oh, but hopefully, it's on its way back into my loot-bag!)

=> go Chargers!

Please don't worry too much about the prize, please do whatever you feel is warranted. I don't want people to feel like they have to give a certain amount. I would like it if people just gave something they think the winner would enjoy no matter what it is really worth.

By the way Stevex6, those prizes you are talking about are very nice!

Yes, I am sorry I posted about the prize folks as I don't want the thread to get altered on account of the prize factor.
My apologies,now lets get back to the smack talk and guesses and yes, it does not matter to me what you guys send me.
