@mannie gray Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. You got the most lines right with 10. P.S. I should still have your shipping address from my last contest that you won. Bonus gift coming with your order!
This order was a success however I will warn you that some of the following contents may be harmful to your eyes. I might need to get mine checked again soon
It gets better as you go along though. For the calculus I had 8 vouchers from renewing so I technically broke even before you add line item 20 which, I'm very glad I did.

Interesting contest. Can't say I would have sent all of them but you have some real lookers there!
Agree. I got a little sloppy there with the 70 & 80s but I wanted to see how they would do. And obviously the in hand eye appeal doesn’t matter much when the condition is that bad.
I also learned a lot about the subtle differences between ms 67 and 68 and now realize I need 2005 thru 2008 in ms68 for the jump. (missed by 1 year).
Do you think the 2008 on line 19 is ms68 quality and was held to a 67 because of the spots? Or are the stains irrelevant?

Congrats @mannie gray you did great!! Even nailed that 68 !! Cool contest and very nice grades @CoinscratchFever ... I was just happy to have guessed four right!

I got 6 right. Maybe the next order will be a ST68IGHT.
Got 5 correct of the 1st 10. Only off 1 on the other 5. Then I bombed the 2nd 10. Looks like I'll never get a job working for our hosts. Maybe I'll go " across the street " and apply.

Easy Tom.....let's have no talk about the other side of the street!!! Grading is not easy and very subjective. Remember when grades were just fine, good, or bad?!
Onastone, I may be old but I'm still not allowed to cross the street. ( self imposed rule ) I started 20+ years before TPG and bought alot of " BU " coins that are now AU 58 at best. ( yea, I still got em ) Can't figure out how that happened, I mean the guy at the LCS said they were BU. LOL
Yea, I kinda picked up on that
And when I first saw your choices on the earlier coins I must admit I got a little concerned.
Luckily the 2009 was in fact a business strike. I still have trouble telling the difference between a high grade business and a low grade Satin. Those two look the same to me.
Anyway Congratulations Mannie! And thanks to all for playing...
I just wanted to take a second to thank @CoinscratchFever for his generosity in his recent contest.
The coins are great and a really rabid YN will get one...not sure who will get the other.
(Yes....he sent two coins!)
Sir, your enthusiasm for coins is refreshing, as is your candor.
Not many of us would be willing to hang our bare butts out the window for all to see, but you take us through your process and show us the results, both good and....the disappointing ones.
I look forward to reading your posts and it's obvious that you have made quite a progression in your knowledge.
I hope your enthusiasm never wanes.🙂

I agree although I was hoping 67+
I will not be surprised however if 66.
You were right about 16 but not the rest and 16 was the only 68.
LOL I am glad I was wrong!
Results coming later today!
I got #14 correct wow - am I good or what?
If it's not to late.....

Followed by a close second in @Mgarmy with 9 - @Mdcoincollector2003 & @JGallow with 8.
@jmlanzaf would have tied had he said all 67 afterall
