Cardinal 1794 $1 contest - 10 ounce bar of silver

in U.S. Coin Forum
OK, folks - this should be fun. Guess the exact price realized of the Amon Carter/Cardinal 1794 dollar going off in Stacks on January 24th and you will win a 10 ounce bar of silver. One guess per person - I reserve the right to request verification that no alts are involved in the winning guess. Deadline for guessing is 9pm PST January 23rd. If more than one person guesses it right, they have to arm wrestle over the bar (ie: only one prize)

    Mighty Generous of you. I will have to do a bit of research to educate myself the best I can and then I will return with my guess. Thank you for the opportunity.

    Very generous. I am going with $0 / reserve not met.

    The literature states no reserve. If you wish, you may guess again but that is up to you

    Cardinal paid $8,000,000 for that coin.

    A loss of $4 to almost $5 million dollars on a single coin would net some seriously negative press for the hobby.

    I suspect that it will fail to sell for one reason or another, however, if it does sell the hammer price will be $1,725,000.

    edited to add......where will this arm wrasslin' contest take place? You gonna fly the contenders in so they can compete? Gonna be covered by CoinWorld, live on that Coin Radio show, etc.....I think we need specific rules fir the tie-breaker. Done right, a tie-breaker could be a cool competition (coin guys arm wrasslin' over a 10 oz bar o' silver...conjurs up that scene in Kingpin where they show all the bowlers, the mustard stain on their shirts type of guys, and Ishmael say's 'wow, what an honor to be in the presence of such great athletes'.....lol)....but I think we should prepare for a tie-breaker, just in case......you DID say it was an arm wrasslin' contest-and if it's with bsshog, among others, it could be real good!!!!)....rules, let's get the tie-breaker rules set!!! image


    oh, to bsshog....nothing but props, man. I wouldn't be in it with ya, if I didn't have to, and I'd bum if I did have to....I mean, look at those freakin' biceps....I'm a big guy, but c'mon, seriously!!!!!!!!!
    I'll come up with something.
