Can I take the no one else gets all of them correct guess😇
I can’t grade with them in hand let alone via picture. Great give away and contest. Congrats on thee 11,111 post count
The grades/designatgions assigned by PCGS to the 8 coins are in. All coins graded Proof 67. The two nickles and the three dimes all received a Cameo designation. The three half dollars did not CAM or DCAM.
Trueview photos of the eight coins are attached below. Take a look and tell me whehter you agree or disagree with the grades and/or designations.
28 guesses were posted by forumites. Applying my grading methodology (described above) resulted in the 8 coins having a point total of 29. The 28 guesses were also each assigned 29 points.
For each of the 28 guesses I reviewed them and compared them to the 8 coins. None of the 28 guesses matched the grades/designations received by the 8 coins. Thus deductions were made to all 28 guesses. The deductions ranged from a low of 3 to a high of 13.
Smudge's lazy guess (all PF67 CAMEO) resulted in a three point deduction. His point total, after the deduction is 26. All other point deductions were more than three points (4 to 13).
Smudge is the winner of the contest. Congratulations Smudge.
I ask that Smudge PM me with his contact information.
The prize won by Smudge will be a 1956 Proof Set cointaining this PF67CAM Type 2 half dollar:
plus the four minors.
One or more of the four minors may also be a Cameo (I currently have multiple 1956 Proof minors at PCGS for grading and will choose the four minors to be included in Smudge's proof set from those new coins and my current inventory of those coins).
Thanks to all who partcipated in this contest. I enjoyed it.
My recent submissions have now been graded. I looked through my collection and was able to pick out four of the five 1956 proof coins to include in the contest prize won by Smudge. I was not able to find a slabbed 1956 proof dime with a Cameo designation or at least a Cameo appearance (such coin I have is in my 1956 Registry Set and it remains with me).
The four graded coins are:
PF66RD
PF67
PF67CAM
PF67CAM
I will be sending these coins to Smudge along with a raw 1956 proof dime.
Congratulations again to Smudge and my thanks to all who participated in the giveaway contest.

Just checked to order statsus. Today the 8 coins moved to encapsulation.
The 8 coins are now in Quality Assurance; and it is likely the grades will pop in the next day or so.
I will wait until after the contest deadline passes to post an update. The update will reveal the grades, the contest winner and the prize.
