Hmmmm, today's date makes this suspect.
How about something radically new like providing proper die marriage attributions for all published and properly described die marriages. You already charge collectors for doing it, now you've got to do it.
Blind faith, huh 🤔
we promise that this is no April fools joke! this is running until June 30

Either you win a prize or you don't. Are odds of winning a prize available?
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."

50/50 -- you win or not!
I'm looking for more information like, how many prizes are there to give out. Thev'e got to have a number for percent chance of winning a prize. One in five, or 20% of eligibles wins a prize, 80% don't? or are chances better than that like 50% win prize, 50% don't win prize? I'm thinking the chance of winning a prize could be no better than one in 10, or more. There's got to be a lesser chance of winning 1/4 oz. gold piece than a 1 oz. silver round, right?

@mr1931S Prizes and the number available are on the webpage for 40th Anniversary Blind Pack Sweeps official rules near the bottom.
Looks like a total of 100 prizes. Odds determined by number of entries. I am not sure how many submissions PCGS receives over a three month period, but I would guess the odds of winning any of the prizes is probably pretty low.
Edit: You can also apparently enter by sending in a 3x5 card with your info as outlined in the rules, so no need to send in a coin submission to participate in the contest.
Is PCGS doing special box color and/or writing on top like the 35th anniversary with gold box and 35th on top cover?
