Now, some of you might be thinking "Hmm...he doesn't have 20,000 posts". Well, I figure I will by the time this contest ends. 
This will be a guess the grade contest with a similar structure to the PCGS World Series of Grading. I say "similar" because I'm changing a few things (my contest, I can do what I want.
). The following five coins are on a submission that will be on it's way to PCGS tomorrow:
Coin #1:

Coin #4:

Click for large reverse image.
Coin #5:

Contest rules:
1. One entry per person.
2. Edited posts will be disqualified.
3. Deadline is the day BEFORE grades post.
4. In the event of a tie, first entry wins.
5. Participants start with 100 points, with deductions as follows:
A) Grade points are straight up, point for point with no cap. In other words, miss by a point (-1), miss by two points, (-2), etc.
Miss a variety: (-2)
C) Miss on a designation (CAM, DCAM, etc.): (-2)
D) Call a bodybag, and the coin grades: (-5)
E) Grade the coin, and it bodybags: (-2)
After deductions, high score wins. And, here is the prize:
It's a PCGS graded PR68 Accented Hair Kennedy Half. Actually not a bad looking coin, but the fields are a little dull, so it should be in a PR67 holder. That bugs me, so it's time for it to go.
Oh, and one last thing. There's a "setup" coin in the group.
Have fun!

I got a very polite note from Carol informing me of the impropriety of my giveaway contest post in this forum. She moved it. It will be interesting to see the political pull you have!

PLEASE NOTE: I don't know an Accented Hair from a pubic hair so my Kennedy designation is based solely on the fact that Russ wouldn't waste his time with non AH Kennedy's.
