This weeks First and Second place winners will be picked at random.

The question must be answered by Saturday at midnight EST

 

QUESTION:

 

What nationwide crisis lowered the price of newspapers in California from five cents to just two cents and thus prompted the first minting of cents at the San Francisco Mint?

 

This weeks winner will receive a copy of "100 Greatest Ancient Coins" by Harlan J. Berk.

 

There will also be a runner up prize given to a selected player with the correct answer.

 

REMINDER: The Numisma-Quest ends on Saturday at midnight EST. Entries after that time will not be valid. See the Trivia info post for more details

I'm guessing it has to be the Panic of 1907 -- also called the 1907 Bankers' Panic and sometimes the Kinickerbocker Crisis.

 

Having this financial crisis right after the great SF earthquake of 1906 must have made life tough for many.
