CONTEST - MAY BE HARD --CONTEST OVER--

SPEEDracer

Tell me what city and country this object is from AND who's hand it is, and I will send you a 9 coin circulated set from that country.

I will periodically give away clues if necessary.

GOOD LUCK

I will post a picture in a minute.

a) this board uses UBB, not HTML tags. So instead of <img src-"">, you need to use [img] and [/img] tags, with the URL between them.

b) We cannot see files on your hard drive unless you host them with an HTTP server such as Apache or miniHTTP. You have to upload them to a server, such as the one used for this board. If the image is under 50 kB, you can upload it to the boards server and post it from there.

SPEEDracer

Sorry for the delay...This is the first time I have tried to post an image...so I am having difficulty with it. I have researched it, but exactly figuring it out may take a few minutes.

SPEEDracer

OK, so what if I don't have the option to attach a picture? I have the Image Icon, but I have to have the picture hosted. My image is only 14K.

SPEEDracer

OK...so hopefully this works.

That.. is the Mother Russia statue "Motherland is Calling" in Volgograd, Russia. The sword is in the Motherland's hand.

SPEEDracer

Nope, sorry, try again.

Bagdad Iraq and Sadam Hussain

DominusDeus

well, whatever it is, I've searched online for two hours and i've only found 3 statues of someone holding a sword up.

Search search search. I think I quit. I'd have better luck finding Jimmy Hoffa.

West Point Mint, Annapolis Maryland! What the heck, just a wild guess!

It's an arch of Sadam Hussain's hands and swords in Bagdad, Iraq. I think 1957joe won.

SPEEDracer

Good job Joe...I'll PM you.

Come on DominusDeus Hoffa would have been way harder to find.

Bagdad, Iraq, and the statue is of Sadam Hussein.

???????

West Point Mint in MD? Good guess, but West Point Mint is in NY.

SPEEDracer

Sorry Cherwood, Joe1957 just won. Thanks for trying though.

DominusDeus

Oh well. This was the only statue in Iraq I could find. Doesn't have a sword in hand, and the hand isn't the right shape.

TO ALL THAT ENTERED: I feel that I had an UNFAIR advantage in the givaway and I feel like I cannot accept the prize. I knew where Eric was because I have been working on a trade with him!

To All:

Due to Joe1957's honesty in winning the contest with prior knowledge of my location, I am honoring his request to not receive the prize. I will open another contest with the same prize...this time not specific to where I am located. Look soon for a new contest.

Thanks,
