'Millennia' Collection auction game (giveaway!)

Okay, as promised, here is round one of our game.

I have taken the LOW ESTIMATE from the upcoming 'Millenia' Collection auction for the coins to be sold.

If you have the auction catalogs, it is the one titled 'Ancient Coinage & Anglo-Saxon' on the cover.

PART ONE

For lots 1-162 which includes: Ancient Greece, Roman, Byzantine, and other ancient cultures

The total LOW LISTED AUCTION ESTIMATE for these 162 coins is: $ 2,320,050.00

(That brings the average coin for the 162 lots to: $ 14,321.00 each )


PART TWO

For lots 163-273 which includes: coins of the "dark ages", and Anglo-Saxon

The total LOW LISTED AUCTION ESTIMATE for these 100 coins is: $ 421,840.00

(that brings the average coin for the 100 lots to: $ 4,219.00 )

So the game is quite simple.....................guesstimate the final hammer price for these 162 lots, and the person that comes the closest wins, well a prize to be determined.

Good Luck!

Doug


note: the other lots/books are coming soon, and will be a seperate game!
