glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 6:33 pm WOW, here's one to keep ya busy from that cold winter storm brewin' outdoors! An E-bay "seller" has a coin you can't live without, an AWESOME Canadian decimal between the dates 1858-1967, however, you don't have the cash/credit to make payment. You have made many upgrades to your collection leaving you with a dozen + traders in your arsenal. You, the "buyer" send the seller an e-mail stating "would you be interested in taking a trade on that coin for an equal trend value of what I have to offer?" After seller sees what you have to offer,seller states you are $140.00 short of trends to make an equal trade. Seller's coin is valued @ $3,700.00 Can. and the total of your "nine" trader coins trend @ $3,560.00. You then send seller another e-mail stating you will add a tenth coin bringing your total trend value to $3,860.00. Seller now agrees to the trade and the coins are now Expresspost to their respective parties to each's mutual satisfaction! QUESTIONS: 1.>What is the average trend value of the buyer's initial nine coins? 2.>What is the trend value of buyer's tenth coin? 3.>Now, if you have figured out the answers to the above two questons, tell me "what the coin is" that the buyer purchased from the seller? Remember, you only have one educated guess and the trend values are based on current C.C.N. trends. Whoever guesses the correct answer will win "the coin!"

R2bR2c Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 6:53 pm In the 3/1 - 3/14 issue of CCN, I can't find a single coin that trends for $3700. The average of the guy's first 9 coins is $3560/9 which doesn't come out even. The 10th coin trends at $300. I don't understand the contest. Report this Post to the Staff

NickleHalfDime Valued Member Canada 94 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 10:44 pm 1. the average value of the buyer's initial nine coins 395.56 $CAD 2. The tenth coin has a trend value of 300.00 $CAD. 3. According to trends from CCN Feb 15-28 the buyer bought an 1880 Newfoundland 20 cent coin in MS-62 grade. It's the only coin I found with that trend value, and yes I know I'm not the first to use this as an answer but it's the only one I found as well. I did remember to answer the first two question though. You gotta read the instructions DBM! Report this Post to the Staff
1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 10:36 pm If a coin trends at $3000 in EF, and $4400 in AU, an EF-45 has a trends value of $3700, despite not being listed in the columns ;o) $3700 sounds like a split-grade price to me. Report this Post to the Staff
