Season 14 Champion: mattbrowning7 ( View it here). Season 15 Champion: wheatguy ( View it here). Season 16 Champion: cwb8539 ( View it here). Season 17 Champion: murty ( View it here). The Rules:- 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 and will be rounded to the nearest $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 (revised 07/09/2010): Each round requires eight different participant guesses and two days.
- 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.
- New Rule (added 07/09/2010): Please send me the price or auction link as soon as you post the round. This removes my PDNC-JFFG from play.
The Points:- The person getting the closest will receive 20 points. In the event of a tie, the lower guess will win.
- 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 guess (even uncorrected duplicates) will get 5 points. Those that 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.

After running my rule-change ideas through some previous seasons, I did not get the results I expected.
Therefore, I have not made any rule changes for Season 18.
