Thanks guys and best of luck!!!!!!!!! | How about a dealine pretty soon so that people don't wait to the last minute? Some have already lost because they guessed early. Just an idea. By the way, Thanks! That was a nice thing to do! Chuck |

Second that Manny....the longer one waits, the bigger his advantage. I suggest putting a cutoff.....soon.
THANKS for this contest.

One question WHY??? there is nothing rare about the coin maybe a low mintage but 37M is not a low mintage people are hoarding these coins because they expect an enormous return but if one keeps for too long it will be a huge loss

The closes one that gueesed which was wiggaman was actually over the final price. Yes I realize this is last minute decision but I have decided that it is not fair to everyone for someone at the last minute to place a guess and then win it, to make it fair on everyone the bid has to be the closest but not go over the price.
That makes mikenoodle the winner at a guess of $68.75. I know Ill get heat for this but it is only fair to everyone who placed earlier bets as opposed to someone who waited at the last second to make it.
Ok...Ive decided to make two winners due to the way it was set up. Winners are mikenoodle for placing his guess the closest but not going over and wiggaman for making the closest guess over all
Round two will be coming!!!!
Winners please send me your address and Ill get them out to you.
Before doing another contest please place suggestions for rules on this thread that way I can make it fair on everyone even those with early guesses

nope, I wouldn't want to screw manny's pooch after he has been generous enough to not only sponsor the contest, but award 2 first prizes!!!
Besides... what if... and I never do find one? and this would be the one that got away?
I dunno... I guess it depends on the offer as everything I own has a price tag when it comes down to it. LOL But definately not eBay!!!

I dont expect people to keep them but if I would receive one this way I'd keep it simply for the "conversational piece" factor, especially if youve been looking long and hard for one

Thanks for giving out two prizes for this, I was thinking about it when I put in the entry to pull a Price is Right and put in 68.76 but decided to go a little higher  . Quote:
