500 post giveaway - WINNERS ANNOUNCED

DonWillis · February 21, 2011 9:08AM

Someone here told me that since this is my 500th post I should have a giveaway, so here goes ....

Because PCGS is celebrating its 25th anniversary lets make it fun and have a little contest focused on that.

The first three people who answer the following question correctly (or closest to correct) will win one free Secure Plus Walkthrough grading submission (either in the office or at a show - no fees).

In the first month of operation, how many coins did PCGS grade?

This contest will end at midnight 2/28/11 PST.

Good luck!

No, no, no. "Someone" has given you incorrect information. You give the first 500 of us that respond, COINS that have been already been graded through Secure Plus.

(It's in the unwritten give-away rules manual.)

11392. Thanks for the chance.

ram1946 · February 21, 2011 9:37AM

I'll say 600. Thanks Don.

llafoe · February 21, 2011 9:39AM

I did a quick formula: 20,000,000 divided by years (25) divided by months (12) divided by the rules of 6 (2 to the 4th) and finally divided by 10 for the first month of operation =

417

This of course is based on February, 1986. If you meant January, 1986, I'd like to change my answer.

a complete WAG, but I think a couple hundred a day for the first month, while getting everything else in order, would have been pretty stellar

Congrat's to PCGS on 25 years and thanks for the chance Don
