Welcome to SEASON ELEVEN!The Contest: Guess the price of a recently acquired, auctioned, or purchased coin.The Prize: BRAGGIN' RIGHTS!Season 1 Champion: CoinHunter53562 ( View it here). Season 2 Champion: trdhrdr007 ( View it here). Season 3 Champion: COINAHOLIC ( View it here). Season 4 Champion: trdhrdr007 ( View it here). Season 5 Champion: nod2003 ( View it here). Season 6 Champion: yotie ( View it here). Season 7 Champion: nod2003 ( View it here). Season 8 Champion: murty ( View it here). Season 9 Champion: Moe145 ( View it here). Season 10 Champion: murty ( View it here). The Rules:- New Rule: All guesses above $20 must be in whole dollar increments and will be rounded to the nearest dollar.
Guesses below $20 can be in $0.50 increments will be rounded to the $0.50 increment. - Final prices will not include shipping or other fees.
- Only the first person to guess a specific value will be counted. Repeat guesses for the same value will not count, so PAY ATTENTION! There will be no ties during the rounds!
- One guess per person per round. If your guess is a duplicate, you will be given a chance to correct it; anyone can post a warning to the player and they will have until the round finishes to correct it.
- Unless you posted a duplicate guess, there will be no editing guess posts. If you edit your post, please include a comment why you edited it. Otherwise, edited posts will not count.
- Minimum round duration: Each round requires eight different participant guesses or three days, whichever comes first.
- There will be ten rounds. In the event of a tie, there will be playoff round. I will host the first, final, and any playoff rounds.
- The winner of the round must host the next round. They can choose any coin they want, but must follow these guidelines:
- No finished auctions (eBay, Heritage, etc.) can be the basis for any round.
- If an auction is used, the round must end at least one hour before the auction does.
- If the coin is from a personal purchase, please round your final price to the nearest whole dollar.
- If you cannot remember the exact price paid, please use your best guess and establish this price (to yourself) before hosting the round.
- For personal coins that were not purchased recently, please give an approximate time frame the coin was purchased (earlier this year, ten years ago, etc.)
- Specifying that where the coin was sold (auction, personal purchase, yard sale, estate sale, etc.) is NOT required!
- All rounds must end during what I call "US National Business Hours" or 8AM to 8PM Eastern (Forum) Time. Results can come anytime after that. In other words, the auction can end at midnight, but the deadline for guesses should be no later than the 8PM EST before that midnight.
The Points:- The person getting the closest will receive 20 points.
- The four people getting the next closest guesses will receive 10 points.
- There is no The Price is Right "must not go over" rule!
- Each other person that gives a unique guess will get 5 points, those that duplicate or unjustifiably edit a guess will get no points.
- The winner of the round must host the next round and will receive 5 points for doing so. If they cannot host the next round, any volunteer that does so will receive 10 points.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being smart, and 10 being stupid, where would you rate it? "Guess the Stupidity" game commences now.

I would give it a seven. The only problem I have is the handling of previous winners. It is something that I have thought about before.

That was my same thought...it is already a problem in the PIF rounds, where the winner can win the round within minutes, but not receive the coin within weeks (or ever). Add on top of that the a season takes a few weeks, and the winner of the previous season may not even be hanging around any more.
