For the variety enthusiasts: Guess the Variety Exercise
This thread is a Shameless clone of the GTG @Torey thread https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1111340/guess-the-grade-roulette#latest

Rules

  • The first person to correctly guess the variety posts the next GTV
  • It should be a variety that can be figured out with online references (no obscure hard copy only sources) preferably through coinfacts, variety vista, or similar variety websites. It does not have to recognized by major grading companies, but it must be a discernible variety with online references somewhere.
  • One guess per person per day. (You can still interact, respond, or talk about the coin after guessing)
  • If the correct variety has not been guessed in 24 hrs, reveal the variety and post another in its place.
  • Any US Coin or Pattern.
  • Try to use clear images.
  • Block out variety, coin number, and certification number. Free tool here if needed - https://redacted.app/
  • Can be either raw or graded.
  • You do not have to own the coin.
  • If the variety-guessing winner does not post a new GTV in 24 hours, anyone can post the next GTV.
  • If the variety-guessing winner does not want to post the next GTV he/she should specify that anyone can post the next GTV
  • Notify the correct winner/guesser by tagging them (@ winner's name) in the variety reveal.
  • Be nice, have fun, and no guess shaming!
