    Wow! I can’t believe I won $10k, lol. After all, didn’t @SanctionII just say it’s a 10k giveaway? It reminds me of a friend who told me he was asked by his new employer to sign up for their 401k, and he refused. I asked him why, and he said, “Well, I’d do a 5k, or maybe even a 10k, but there’s no way I’m going to run a 401k”, lol.

    In all seriousness, thank you so very much @SanctionII for your true generosity in the prize of a special Proof Franklin Half!

    To update up this thread, I would like to announce that after looking through the 53 newly graded proof half dollars I received back from our host yesterday I have chosen a 1955 PF66CAM Franklin as the 10,000 post contest prize that will be sent to the contest winner:

    Winesteven.

    Congrats to Winesteven and my thanks to all who played in the contest

    Winesteven's guess of 6-8-2022 as the date that the final Trueview photo of the coins contained in the 8 submissions I gave to PCGS at the February, 2022 Long Beach show is likely at least two months off. Everyone else's guess was even farther off.
    I still have not received 2 of the 8 submissions back. Further as of today Trueviews have posted only for 8 coins sent in on a Voucher submission. I expect that the final Trueview photo will not post until sometime in late August at the earliest.

    To finish up this thread I will post a Trueview of the contest prize when it is posted.

    TTT.

    Bringing this thread to the top to report that the last TrueView photos of the coins I submitted to PCGS last February at the Long Beach show have still not popped. A submission of 6 World coins was returned to me yesterday and I expect the TrueView photos of same to pop later this month.

    In hindsight it is amusing to see that Winesteven's winning guess of June 8, 2022 at 1:15 p.m. PDT is now more than two months too early B) . The earliest guess of 3-4-2022 is now over five months too early.

    Wow... Five months.... That is the longest wait period I have seen so far (there may be others, I just have not seen them). Hope it breaks loose soon... Cheers, RickO

    Final update on this thread.

    Today the final Trueview photos posted.

    Almost 6 months from when our host received the coins and 2 months and 10 days after Winesteven's winning guess.

    Thanks to all who played in the giveaway contest and to those who followed this thread.

    What a wait.

    I should submit my stuff soon, or it may pass directly to my heirs!

    And I'll never get to see them
