spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 12:00 am It's finally here, ladles and jellyspoons! Yes, I did stall in order to come up with a simple, yet compelling, guessing game. Basic Rules Only open to members with at least 50 posts. Open to members in all countries. Members are allowed one guess per piece. Guessing will proceed for one piece at a time for a predetermined time period. There will be three winners! The Game I have three pieces of Exonumia. I will provide you with the maximum dimension of the piece, and your job is to guess: How much it weighs to 1/10 gram. The year it was made. Important Info One piece is not round. No two have the same composition. There is one each from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. No two are of the same exonumic category. Each piece costs less than $10. None are made of paper/cardboard. Scoring The difference between the actual weight and your guess (simple subtraction) will be added to the difference in actual date and your date guess to determine your points. So, that means... The lowest score wins! Any ties will defer to the members' guessed weight, and the closest to correct wins. As a contingency given a tie still exists, the member to post first wins. So...what do you win? *Prizes* The prizes are the pieces you will be guessing on! However, because the pieces will become slightly narrowed down based on the information I provided, making the guessing slightly easier, the winners will select prizes after all three pieces have been revealed and all guessing is done. First winner chooses first. Second winner chooses second. Third winner receives the remaining prize. Isn't it fun not knowing what you may win?! This can be a bit more than straight guessing based on the hints I have given. Let's get started... *Piece #1* The first item for your guessing consideration has a 38mm maximum dimension. This is the only piece with edge lettering... Guessing for Piece #1 ends Wednesday, August 8, 2018 at 7:00 PM Forum Time. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 12:15 am Take your time and think about what the possibilities are considering the hints I have provided. There's no rush. I may post intermediate guess updates, but try to avoid guessing exactly as another member (wasted guess).

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 4:15 pm It looks like my explanation wasn't completely confusing. To reiterate, I have posted the maximum dimension of Piece #1 and you must guess the weight in grams and the year of manufacture (only 50s, 60s or 70s). @YNC, please add a year to your guess. Guessing for Piece #1 ends Wednesday at 7PM. The first winner will be announced that night and Piece #2 will be posted.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 4:18 pm Also, you can guess the same year or weight as another person, just not both, because that will give you the same score and the first poster wins in that case.
