The auction of the medal that Simon Kuznets received with his Nobel Prize in Economics in 1971 ended this evening.
The auction had a minimum bid of $150,000, and a soft close, i.e. the closing time was extended for 30 minutes (I think) beyond the last bid. All the bids were made on the last day, and the auction was extended for several bids before reaching the final price of $385,848.
