I seriously thought I'd get more of a response with this contest but I suppose I made it a bit hard. enjoy the riddles and rhymes.  -------------------------------------------------------------- My clues and riddles did not find their way Yet the first helpful hint was on the ebayNot in a search or a quirky quick query But posting my name makes me a bit weary "Check Member's Listings", quoth the mod I shall smile in approval and give a quick nod Columbus once sailed the ocean blue Add 305 and that shall be your clue.

I even tried to print out a copy of your avatar and put it under the microscope to see SOMETHING legible! The only thing I could find with the last clues was something about Georgius III D:G Rex, which unless he looked like a monkey, has nothing to do with this contest. Cool contest, though! I really don't need to sleep anyways!  |

I believe I have finally found it. I shouldn't have, but I found it. And not on ebay. From doing an Internet search on the only bit of readable text you can see on GO's avatar. GO, I didn't know you were into collecting things like that!

I am still quite lost.  Your avvy looked like a Lion to me at first but now I see the monkey after you mentioned it. I got all the clues but still am scratching my head. I think I will pass on this contest after all ..thanks for offering it up and good luck to those who are playing. I will just sit and watch  Edited by Lucky_13

I'm having way too much fun with this. I am however dishearted to not see as much activity here as I'd hoped. Oh well...here be another confusion to see.

Such a wild ride from the land of randomness
Twas rather cavendish to be seen like this
Paintings in the darkened street of curiosities
Do not be an old jesso to indulge in hypocrisies
Exchanged and sold is the soul of the beginner
To the one who deciphers this shall be the winner

Bravo!
You are the winner UNLESS someone finds even more info on this coin. Your info and numerous pictures are as far as I have gotten. Stay sharp and don't let someone take this from you.
If there is some kinda tie I'll figure out something as a tiebreaker I assume.
