The catalogue price is $17 for AU, am I correct?
However, the actual price in Poland was 104.49 =
$52.

This is what I mean by saying that silver coins are heavily
overpriced here. If it wasn't so difficult to pay for coins from
abroad, I guess everyone would be ordering them in the US, as US
price + insured shipment = less than the Polish price.

I include three screens of the price in case someone doesn't
believe it I edited out the name of the loser who bought it to save him from shame caused by buying such a heavily overpriced coin.. and the others too.

Wow, $52 is way, way overpriced. Need silver to at LEAST DOUBLE, maybe even TRIPLE in price per ounce. PHEW
Rest in Peace

Note to self: metal value sets Polish trend higher

I have already factored in a higher intrinsic value for spendable cash, and the 'scarcity' of American coins. I'm still, obviously, missing some key elements. The spread in points of the last two winners, 15 in round 6 for dan8402 and 5 in round 7 for pls, indicates everybody is searching for the deciding elements in the Polish market. We don't seem to have a handle on the regional scarcity and collector fervor factors, and then some I don't grasp yet. This is an excellent learning experience.

So far in my tallies:

Running Total points winner by round

1) 8 pts - docsfishn
2) 17 pts - docsfishn
3) 24 pts - Parklane64
4) 35 pts - Parklane64
5) 36 pts - Parklane64
6) 42 pts - docsfishn
7) 43 pts - docsfishn

Closest per Round Points

1) 8 pts for - docsfishn
2) 13 pts for - dan8402
3) 13 pts for - Placasador.
4) 11 pts for - Parklane64
5) 13 pts for - b_j_w_79
6) 15 pts for - dan8402
7) 5 pts for - pls

Is anybody using a dartboard?

I am using a pseudo-random number generator I wrote many years ago!
Actually, I am not, but I might as well be!

Wow $52! Looks like I need to recalculate my guesses, or then maybe not. Like Parklane64 said, "This is an excellent learning experience."

I'm ready for the next round!
Rest in Peace
