To commemorate my achieving "Millenium Pillar" status, I'm holding
this 1000th 1100th Post Contest.

Submit your guesses for the spot price of silver on March 01, 2010.
Specifically, the March 1st NY Close price as reported on this page.

Guesses must be posted and edited by Friday, February 19, 2010
11:59:59PM Forum Time. One guess per CCF user (guess can be changed
before the closing time, the last guess made before the closing time
prevails). Must have 50 quality posts on CCF at time of your entry
post (sorry, new members!).
Yes, this contest is open to our international members (with 50+ posts).

All posts or edits of posts made after 19 Feb. 2010 11:59:59PM
(Forum Time) are disqualified and not eligible.

The poster with the closest guess to the March 1st "NY Close" Spot
Silver Price (as reported on the Kitco chart linked above) wins a
VF 1892-P Morgan silver dollar.

The ten users' posts that made the closest guesses after that, will
each win one BU 2010-D Native American dollar. These were picked up
in person at the Denver Mint by myself, and are guaranteed to be less
bagmarked than the five of them that I washed my car with today!

(One reason why this ended up being an "1100th Post" contest is
that I was waiting for the Denver Mint to distribute the 2010-D
Native American dollars that I wanted to give away in this contest!)


Good luck to all, and here are some pictures of the prizes:

Quote:
schmidty: "what happens with multiple guesses
of the same amount?"

If more than one user makes the exact same price guess that's within
the winning price range, I'll "cross that bridge when I come to it."
For example, I could declare a 'tie' and add an extra Native Dollar
to the prize pool so that both parties get a Native Dollar.
Edit: That's exactly what I've done!

Mar 1st NY Close was $16.46
Dna's-1100th-Post-Contest--Coins-Mailed

Please note that I said "closest to the price",
not "closest to the price, without going over".
Ex: a $16.00 guess is '46¢ difference' and a $17.00 guess
is a '54¢ difference'. The $16.00 guess is thus 8¢ closer.

First Prize:
01. Podoprigora = $16.50 = 4¢ difference

Second Prizes:
02. Jser = $16.37 = 9¢ difference (tie)
02. deadmunny = $16.37 = 9¢ difference (tie)
03. tls867 = $16.33 = 13¢ difference
04. SilentAsian4Hire = $16.61 = 15¢ difference
05. mad258 = $16.62 = 16¢ difference
06. ratman4762 = $16.74 = 28¢ difference
07. Nic = $16.16 = 30¢ difference
08. Rigoletto = $16.13 = 33¢ difference
09. chris12018 = $16.86 = 40¢ difference
10. SHAFTA9a = $16.04 = 42¢ difference
11. tumbleweedtrumpet = $16.02 = 44¢ difference

Since there is a tie for second place, an extra 2010-D Native
American Dollar will be given away, for a total of 12 Dollar
coins awarded to the winners!

The "nail-biter" for me: If silver had closed at $16.43 on the 1st
(which was very possible!), jser and deadmunny would have
been tied for first place, and I would have given away two VF 1892
Morgans. Yes, that's right, folks, I did in fact buy another VF 1892
Philly Morgan (which I can now keep!) to cover myself! (it was close!)



Thanks to all who entered! DNA
