And, since some want more specificity regarding the fate of Pete Hendrickson; my prediction is:
he will never be sentenced.
Readers will carefully note the difference between the
silver coin in 'Harvester's' pocket [which is likely a Liberty Dollar with little value] and the
gold coin in 'Brandybuck's'
Do we have a fair exchange yet? Is there an equal value between the two coins?
Sad to say, "I don't think we're talking about the same thing!" 'Harvester' should pay close attention, because I'm giving him an "out" to the bet, so he doesn't have "egg on his face."

"I accept your wager as stipulated" but does that mean it's a
gold or
silver coin? Most readers would say it's a
gold coin, but there's still doubt in my mind until 'Harvester' confirms it.
Chicken! You know very well the IRS will
still be collecting taxes from folks on April 1, 2011. Put up the
gold coin! Put your money where your mouth is, or learn a little humility.
