    Me too! A whopping $3500. The leader is up $55k in one day. He's got to be happy.

    WooHoo, I made $5510.00 myself. I'm only in 20th spot, but I'm much higher than many dealers.

    Are we going to show each other our picks, or will they be kept secret?

  • I made 50 grand...

    And I'll tell you what I bought.

    Wisconsin error quarters. All of them (almost). I figure they have a good shot at jumping up.

    Good luck to us all.
  • I made 1600 overnite.........The wisconsin quarters were almost all
    gone by the time I thought of them !

    I did get enough to pick up 1k !!!

    "But, I see someone has made 55,000 overnight. Wonder what coins are in the portfolio."

    That would be me. I bought heavily in 1885-CC Morgans when I noticed the Price Guide had errors... like MS60 and 62 DMPLS being priced lower than PLs and regular coins in the same grade, and MS63 regular coins being priced the same as AUs.

    When in doubt, don't.

    So your gain wasn't due to a market gain but an error correction in the guide. Nice catch none the less..

    You'd have to be a collectors club member and then go to the pcgs.com site and it's on the left.
    Good luck getting anything worth while though.

    Like the Sphinx said, at this point, you would have to know something that a ton of knowledgeable people don't know. There are not a lot of first and second tier "sleepers" left. When I looked last night, even some of my super sleepers were scooped up and gone.
  • I just dumped these if anyone wants to scoop them up

    3/2 7226 1893-S $1 MS 62 $100,000 -4 Sold

    (would've been up $8k if I never bought these and had yesterday what I have now) ah well

    This is all to confusing so I'll help out by suggesting all such profits be sent to me for straightening out.

    You click the price guide, find a coin you're interested in, click on whatever grade and it adds it to your watch list. From there you'll see if any are available, and then you can click buy, or add more to your watchlist or whatever.
  • eyoung429eyoung429 Posts: 6,374
    I am not seeing any watch listing. I clicked on the price guide after logging in, selected Morgans and then randomly chose a pcgs number from the left column and all I get is the descriptive of the coin series. Am I missing a step? I also have tried to go to the series but all it does is describes the contest.

  • Click the price that corresponds with the grade you want, not the coin series #.

    It would be nice to see the leaderboard even if you are not playing.

    Me, I am not playing, but I would be interested in checking the leaderboard every so often. But I guess you can't if you don't shell out the money to join the collector's club.
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    $50 but at the time I only had 2 coins in my portfolioimage
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I agree- Hey Ron: For those of us that just want to 'watch' this action- why not let us see the contest as it unfolds?

    PCGS now has the price of 1885-CC Morgans in MS60 $50 LESS than in VF.

    This is ridiculous.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Presumably this isn't just a treasure hunt right?
  • I'm in 19th. Made most of my money on 1909 S Indians in red. Come on baby 1899 Dollars are too cheap, lets see the price go up on those.

    "Presumably this isn't just a treasure hunt, right?"

    Presumably. But it sure looks like there's an Easter Egg Hunt aspect to the Price Guide! image
    When in doubt, don't.

    I am ranked 7th. Probably won't last long though.

    Well, after making a joke about buying 2 2003 Lincolns to spend the end of my cash, they were my largest percentage gainer for day 1... up about 7%.

    All told, I am up a big $110 and in the tantilizing 69th place..... but early dollars will rise and so will I.
