spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 03:02 am So I reached my 500th post this evening (actually yesterday to me) so as is my want, I'm starting this contest at a late hour. First, I would like to bump Spence's giveaway. I have a feeling it will be over soon, so support CCF and get it while you can. http://goccf.com/t/257744 Soon, my oldest dated coin will be on its way to me because of his generosity and love for this Family! My Contest: It's very complicated (thanks llewellin for the suggestion). Guess my middle name. Rules: 1. One guess per member until the end of time itself. Open to all members. If you submit more than one guess, you're instantly disqualified. 2. The winning guess must be correctly spelled (my given middle name). Please capitalize the first letter. 3. Related nicknames or shortened versions don't count. 4. The first member to guess correctly is the winner. Note: I've tried my best to see if this information is available online somewhere using what you might already know about me. Please, as this is not enforceable, do not use internet searching to come to your answer. Just guess! The Prize: I don't have much of an excess in my collection and most are less than MS. Once a winner is proclaimed, then the winner and I will try to find an appropriate prize that fits their specific interests best. I have: -relatively few US coins, except Lincoln Wheat Cents with/without various errors. -mostly world coins (including Canada, Australia & Great Britain) from the 20th Century from many different countries. -some tokens/exonumia You can take a look at the coins/tokens I've posted before to get a general idea. Prize Edit: I came up with something more specific. The winner will receive: -One world coin based upon the winner's preference -One Wheat cent error coin of my choosing -One silver world coin of my choosing _____ I would like to do a Bonus and/or Runner-Up, but haven't thought of a good one yet. Stay tuned. What is my middle name?

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 04:24 am Questions: is there a guess limit per user? and if you allow more than one guess, can they be one after the other or does another member's guess need to be after each of your guesses? example#2: user1 guess, user2 guess, user1 guess, user3 guess, user1 guess, etc guess I should have read the rules closer, and apparently joeysanders627 didn't read the rules either one guess per member Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 04:56 am The first rule is ONE guess per member. I'll change it to reflect that if a member guesses more than once, they are disqualified. It's only fair because that just happened to be the very first rule. P.S. All of joeysanders' guesses are null and void for not reading the first rule.

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:05 am Your Middle name is the name in-between your given name and your family/married name. That's what your middle name is Report this Post to the Staff
TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:13 am Washington , complete and utter random guess. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:17 am I've edited some things since the original post, but the first rule was there from the beginning (and the other rules). Why would I do this contest and allow infinite answers from one member? Keep the guesses coming!

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:20 am joeysanders627, as a moderator, I can see a post's history, and he is right, the rule of one guess per member was there when he first posted this contest over 2 hours ago Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:45 am If you're willing to wade through all of that (I had no idea the stir it would incite), there have been four legitimate answers. (All incorrect, by the way). Again, one guess per member.

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:49 am Let's sum it up after all this unnecessary stuff: Douglas Washington Ronald Donald - are incorrect. Report this Post to the Staff
TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 05:51 am What about...one guess per member per day? Just in case no one gets it. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 06:02 am @TobyJ I can include hints if needed. It's too early to tell. @llewellin It seems you (and I) had no idea the monster this idea would spawn. I like it even more now. Thanks, again.
