OK, I finally have the coins I need to run this again. Sorry for the delay. I received my geocache recently but did not take out ANY coins from it. The Geocaching cache has gotten severely depleted after the first 4 runs, so I am replenishing this and hoping that future winners will be honest about this according to the rules below. This will only work if people will be honest. You may pick more than one coin from the group, but you must replace it with similarly valued coins. You can't replace a $5 old coin with a modern foreign coin that's worth face value, for example. For the record, the lot I send out will contain more than $
25 $30 in coin value US and Foreign. I'll adjust this number upwards later if I find some more things to add.
First to post who follows the rules will win.
Ineligibles who have won Geocaching previously:
#1 Insideout
#2 Lucky_13
#3 arthrene
#4 graceoutcast
#5 justabeginner
#6 mycrob
Correction: this is actually #7, as there were two threads at #4.
The rules are copied below from karrlot
The first person to respond to this post, who has 50 quality posts, who has not won the "Pick Your Prize Pay It Forward" with in the last 15 times, will receive a package containing more than one fabulous prize (probably 3 or 4). You may choose one fabulous prize, then replace it with something of similar fabulousness, then you must hold the contest again and send the group of fabulous prizes to the next person. At any point, anyone can add an extra fabulous prize so that the next person will have even more fabulous prizes to choose from.
Here is one important rule - you have to trade for an item that is similar in fabulousness. You can't take out a silver half and replace it with a common date
Lincoln Cent. You could take out a 1964 silver half and replace it with 2 1964 silver quarters, (but they must be kept together as one fabulous prize). Its really up to you to decide, but if all you have to trade is a sorta-fabulous item, then don't take a super-fabulous item, just take a sorta-fabulous item.
If this keeps going as well as the PIF has, I think it is okay for people to win more than once, because the prizes will be changing all the time. So, you can't enter if you've won with in the last 15 times, but after that, then you can enter again.
In summary:
1) Respond to the post (if you have 50 quality posts)
2) Receive a package of fabulous prizes
3) Pick a fabulous prize to keep for yourself
4) Add a similiarly fabulous prize to the package
5) Hold the contest again and send the fabulous prizes to the next person.
