Pattern coin giveaway Winners announced

in U.S. Coin Forum
In celebration of my 2000th post and third anniversary here, I have decided to sponsor a giveaway. The rules are pretty simple. I have posted images of 5 pattern coins. Guess the PCGS grade (including designations if any) and attribute each coin by Judd number. If you don't have a Judd book you can use this excellent website uspatterns.com

Each coin will be scored as follows: 100 points max with 1 point deducted for each point off on the assigned grade, 1 point deducted for each designation missed and 2 points deducted for a wrong Judd number.

A perfect score would be 500 total. Ties will be broken based on the order answers are recieved in. Please only one entry per person.image

    I know #2 quite well, so I'll just disqualify myself. image

    But I'm gonna guess that Cameron isn't going to win since he doesn't follow directions very well. image

    "But I'm gonna guess that Cameron isn't going to win since he doesn't follow directions very well."

    I followed the directions. -10 points for the Judd numbers missing but I can still win if I am the closest to the grades.

    Great giveaway. I've won too much this month already. Beautiful coins. I really do need to get a pattern sometime.

    Leave it to Cammie to b*tch about a contest where someone is generously giving away some very nice material. If I was Boiler (I would own some MONSTER patterns!), no wait, if I was Boiler, I would disqualify your whiney azz just for being a p*ssant.

    Can't do it. I'm afraid I might win, and unlike the rest of you, I know how tough it can be to sell French patterns.

    Those are some great coins and I had fun with this contest.

    I really like the 3rd place coin, so that is the one I'm going for image If by some miracle I come in 1st or 2nd or 3rd - I'd like the 3rd place prize.

    #1) J1903, MS-66

    #2) J73, MS67

    #3) J633, PR68DCAM

    #4) J1587, MS67RD

    #5) J208 (5 leaves reverse), PR66 CAM

    If I didn't get 100% it was the subconcious trying to win the 3rd place coin image

    Congratulations on your 2000th/3rd year post - and unlike most of us, those were 2,000 USEFUL posts image
