I see that everyone here is giving figures in the lower half of 7 digits or lower. I think it would go very high, but I don't expect it to beat the 1933 double eagle (sadly...), so I'm giving a nice round number a little below that level.

My guess is 16,777,216 USD.

Curiously, PCGS has put a value on it here, $1.5M. How they arrive at that I don't know, seems low compared with other less rare/special coins, like 1913 V-nickels and 1804 dollars which go well into the millions.

I'll go $2.85M.

I too am in the camp that it will be an historic auction, in contrast to my usual pessimism.

Hi Everyone,
Just to confirm, the prices should all be USD.
Sorry I forgot to mention it.
As for the email system not being available to new members, I trust something can be worked out should a new member win.
I'll update the guess list on Monday from work.
Cheers all.

There is a formula to how I arrived at that odd amount.

I enjoyed reading the thread that I somehow missed for four years and I have no idea so I'll go with PCGS's seemingly arbitrary valuation.

$1,500,000 USD

Thanks for the contest!

Awesome initiative, GMS!
I'll definitely give it a try as well.
Like Westcoin, I took the average of all your submissions and came to around $5,000,000 USD.

However, my mindset is always to think BIG, so I'm going for $20,000,000 USD.
