Ok, what did I win?

As I said in my PM, my hat is off to you! This was the most creative and fair contest to everyone that I have seen so far.
It was difficult and, if someone hadn't already taken my guess, I would have not gotten it right right then.
My son will get this for his collection as well, so we both thank you
btw....I was amazed that so many people knew it was a SAE from the first pic.
For the last one, I took the image and did some non-sharpening and that helped verify it was the 200x dated SAE. Then, I, still having trouble with the last digit, thought......hmmm.....what would be a cool date to use, and thought "2000".
Again, thanks for a cool contest!

I used the "stylize-Emboss" feature in photoshop on the first picture and it presented a good enough image to determine without a doubt it was an SAE. The grade and date and MM was just a guessing game from there.
I guess he got xray vision
