All: regarding the 1853 NA H10C PCGS 66 CAC. I was surprised at the guesses as the pics were good (highest @ 63+). The coin doesn’t show much at all in the way of marks. I will say luster didn’t show as it does in “real life”, but it’s muted anyway. Tough coin.

I don't want to call your baby ugly, so let me just say it's nicer than Winston Churchill and Steve Buscemi. That coin has a look only an owner could love. : )

A critique fitting from someone that made a terrible guess

hey hey hey, 61 is not a bad guess, I was at 58+ , in all honesty I saw 58-61 from OP scan, these little boogers are hard to grade often, so wash that grin off your face

You’re right, 61 wasn’t a bad guess, it was a terrible guess. Where are the marks? This wasn’t a scan, it was a photo that accurately depicted the coin. Consider my “grin” washed

And I was second closest at 63! Besides, you didnt designate no arrows. Ha!

Should we add variety guessing to the contest ?
Maybe guess the date and mint-mark as well ?
That could be easier than guessing the grade

Only mentioned this, because it was requested by posting op. Go back and take a look @dcarr.

Don’t feel bad my next guess was 45.
I did get the no arrows part but that was easy.

jfriedm56

Anyway? Back to the Jefferson. No clue, but I’d say MS65+.

And the answer is:

I meant that jokingly. The lack of arrows was the easy part to guess.

Very nice coin. No matter what the grade may be.

I didn't want to ignore you, seriously now, when I first saw this one, I'm thinking, nice, I like it it, but oh so subtle wear, knees, arms, breasts, face etc.
It could be the scuffed holder or my laptop (maybe cell, I forgot) , but the point is, its a GTG, it's what I saw or perceived at first glance, so I went with a guess of, ok this one is 58+, knowing it can go either way.
I hope you did not take my comment as offensive.

Copperindian

@marcmoish: absolutely did not! I saw some humor in all the later posts. But, to me, 58 grades are more accurate than 61’s any day. At least, I personally prefer them!
I think Jefferson frog was attempting humor; that’s the way I took it. A little sloppy but humor just the same. My reply to him was probably just as sloppy (& I did wash my face)!

jfriedm56

All these sideways comments are what makes this thread so much more entertaining and enjoyable than just GTG. Hope it keeps on going. Zack

@Coinscratch: you’re right! My bad, I didn’t check for a later guess before I posted! Nicely done - SORRY!

Copperindian

OK, we have a winner! - @jfriedm56. You’re up Zack - Clad doesn’t need to be added on the guess. Kind of obvious it’s not the Silver version.

jfriedm56

Thanks. Try this one.

No worries, I’m running out of material anyway although I will be shipping off a new submission soon.
That one was easy to find on CoinFacts when I went looking for the hit above the wing for confirmation I didn’t even need it because that beautiful coin stood out by itself.

@Copperindian, correct Ken. Right out of the gate!

Is that air b&b?

I think/hope @pcgsregistrycollector is correct & he meant BN:

So I guess that’s a “yup” & you’re up:

jfriedm56

@pcgsregistrycollector, you’re up!

jfriedm56

@Copperindian, hey Ken. It’s been over 24 hours since the correct guess. Want to post a new one? Zack

Sorry, I was on a 24 hour flight and couldn't check my devices. If its alright I'll post another coin after this one concludes.

My guess is PR-65 BN
