Still deciding about the prize pool. Winners will get to choose one coin. So far, I have these 8 up for grabs. I'm debating about adding some others, or even some moderns (Morgan or Peace dollar) just for grins. *Might* add one of the smaller Ptolemy bronzes I recently bought, but I haven't even attributed them yet and am hesitant to give one up without thorough scrutiny. I haven't examined these either. Bought them as a lot a couple of months ago, haven't even tried to attribute them yet. I'm guessing they are all Philip II and AlexIII, right?  And so far there are only 4 entries, with 3 other people who say they are going to put in a bid sheet. I need for at least 3 more people to enter or I'll cancel the contest and try it again some other time. So c'mon, play along! If were planning on waiting until closer to the deadline to submit your bid sheet, at least drop a post in the contest thread letting me know your intentions. |

Well it's hit the minimum number I set for it to proceed, so it's a go. Wish more people would enter though!
I thought there would be more interest. Free coins and all...
