I will start the biding with $8.00

1865 What a history packed year that was. Holly cow! There's so much history that this coin could have participated in that it's almost too much to consider.

Major battles in the Civil War
Confederacy surrenders and the war is over.
Abraham Lincoln is assassinated
Booth is killed
Assassination conspirators are hanged
Jefferson David is captured
Cornell University is created
The Sultana sinks in the Mississippi killing 1700.
Salvation Army founded
Alice in Wonderland is published


It's a big year. There are even more interesting happenings.

I'll go to 8.50

For that reason and that reason alone......$8.75!

$9.25

I heard a rumor that this 2 cent piece was used by US Grant to buy a bottle of bourbon to share with Lee at Appomattox. Of course, I don't know this to be a fact and history being what it is, it could have been Lee that used it to buy a bottle for Grant.

9.50

I heard a rumour that I haven't got a 2 cent yet.

In fact, it's a fact!

9.75

Man I knew I couldn't get it cheap!

$10 on the dot......

Do I hear $10.25? Why I do! I do! Wait, it is coming from me. Oh yeah, I bid $10.25.

1865? wasn't that the year they brought out the first Lexus? $11

I think you're right. But wasn't it the one with the little engine?

Oh poo... $11.25

You got lucky.....I was going to put a nice bid in but was at school.

Congrat Ray. A nice 2 center.
