Season 18 Champion: upstate ( View it here). Season 19 Champion: nod2003 ( View it here). Season 20 Champion: pls ( View it here). The Rules: Revised 21 April 2011!- 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: 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.
- All coins were provided in advance. They were purchased in the timeframe stated.
- All rounds will end during what I call "US National Business Hours" or 8AM to 8PM Eastern (Forum) Time. Results can come anytime after that.
The Points:- The person providing the coin for the round will receive 20 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.

Ummm sorry, but I'm new here ... does this contest have an entry fee? (if so, I am sooooo unarmed and I will bow-out, ungracefully) ... but if this is merely a nuthin' to lose guessing contest then I would like to make a guess ...
I will high-ball your two guesses and toss a guess of $31.50 into the ring ...
NOTE => this is the sum of your two guesses, divided by two, and then multiplied by two, for it seems that I always pay twice as much for a coin as it is worth = $31.50

stevex6: it is free to play and the winner does not get a prize, they get bragging rights. this is merely a guessing game to have fun. so you are welcome to play.
my guess is $15.50.
thanks again jbuck for hosting!

Awesome, thanks for the clarifiction, murrellington .... ummmm, so each round lasts 2 days (and you started this round today at 2pm Thompson Manitoba time, so I should go outside and enjoy the Thompson mosquitos and check this site again in two days) => Sunday at 2pm "central" time ...
Yah, sadly I'm already hooked on collecting coins ... I'm gonna try my best to stay away from this site until 2pm Sunday => I don't want to end-up being the lonely old single dude, surrounded by 100s of cats, cursing that Jimmy-Bob had a closer guess than mine!) ... thanks ... until then

 to the game! The rounds last at least two days, but I choose end times based on my availability!  I usually have the first round last longer, to attract new players.
