Hello-

This is my first post, but I read these forums often. This seemd like a really good thread to partake in.

I vote MS64 brown on the first one, and MS62 brown (porus planchet) on the second. Judging by all the VFs, I may be way off on the second coin, but I have seen MS fugios in PCGS holders with less detail, so that is my guess.

Cool contest - I am looking forward to partaking in more discussions.

If the coins to be graded are part of your current inventoy, then I grudgingly admire your marketing creativity. If otherwise, then I appreciate your generosity.

braddick · May 5, 2004 3:18AM

1- M62 and 2-MS63 ("brown" on both)

Gemtone, neither coin is for sale (at least by us). In fact I don't own either coin.

I will post the winner later this evening or first thing in the morning. Wow! What a range in grades. Everything from Fine to MS-64. Grading Fugio coppers can be very difficult.
