Time for a giveaway - Winner Announced

Coppernicus · August 17, 2004 12:23PM

Three weeks from tonight I have to get back in the classroom and begin teaching my graduate financial markets course. The summer is too short! Time for a giveaway - same concept as the one I did for my 1,000th post: Guess the price I paid for my PCGS 1933-D MS66RD Lincoln cent on ebay. Do not include shipping/insurance in your guess. I bought it about 1 1/2 years ago.

Deadline for guesses is Thursday at midnight (CDT) - closest, earliest bid wins the prize. This is not the "Price is Right" so the winner can be "over!"

As in my last giveaway, I won't reveal the prize until after the end of the contest. Last time, I just said the prize "contained silver" and it was a nice '64 proof set - no AH, however!! Same this time: the prize will contain silver and will be of interest to all numismatics.

Good Luck!!
