thedeadpoint Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Anyone interested in running another BCI? Would it be open to all the commonwealth coinage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 It would be fun. I would think that all Commonwealth coinage would have to be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 If it includes Commonwealth countries, I better hurry up and get my Mozambique entries together Mozambique joined the British Commonwealth even though it was a Portuguese colony and never had any association with Britain.

Ætheling Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yes Deadpoint, I've already volunteered to run a British PCI, and yes I would gladly include Commonwealth coins. I was just waiting until the other PCI had finished before I announced anything! I'll set up an entry thread in the next day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Dear Contest Runner Person, My camera is broken and so is my scanner. I want very much to enter many of the catagories as I have a fine set of coins from the Commonwealth. Would it be ok if I wrote a detailed description of my coin, including grade and then used an illustration or perhaps a borrowed picture to represent it in the competition?

Art Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Can't wait. I like the catagories. A serious questions -- is the contest restricted to circulating coins or are NCLT acceptable also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Can't wait. I like the catagories. A serious questions -- is the contest restricted to circulating coins or are NCLT acceptable also? NCLT is allowed (it may even get it's own category if there is demand and some of the other categories are too small to be viable). I've gone all pragmatic Art.

Ætheling Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Entries are now closed. I am currently pairing up coins (or trio-ing them up ) and sometime between this afternoon and monday afternoon, the first categories will start appearing for voting. Fuller details will appear soon.
