My Set is Complete now time for a Give Away- A real CC Trade Dollar pocket piece!!!

crypto79 · January 19, 2012 12:04PM

As many of you know I have a set focus in my collecting goals and I recently reached a major milestone by getting at least one example of ever date, mint mark and hub type in the Trade Dollar series. To celebrate I am giving away a real Carson City Trade Dollar!!! And it's one of the rarest Hub types on top of all being a 1875cc type 1/2. Now before you rush out and buy a new car with your planed spoils I must warn you that it is more or less a cull. It is a VG details mostly grey pocket piece with a small partial hole on the obv, it also has permanent marker on the reeded edge from when I did reed counts for my studies.

Contest:

The person who correctly guesses both winners of this weekend's NFL championship games AND comes closest to the combined margin of victory between the two sets of scores. Over or under doesn't matter. To have your numbers count you must guess both winners correctly before the tie breaker kicks in. Earlier guess take priority and anyone who picks the Giants to win and some how convinces me that it is really the Redskins going to the Superbowl because they are better than the Giants because they swept them in the Regular season gets bonus points !!!!!

I don't even know who is playing and we don't have power at home right now, so I won't make a guess right now, but did want to tell you "Congrats!"

magikbilly · January 19, 2012 12:07PM

If I could I would, but I don't even know where left field is.

I just wanted to say CONGRATS on reaching your major milestone. I am no expert on Trade Dollars, but I am assuming that is a very difficult milestone to reach.

CoinJunkie · January 19, 2012 12:09PM

Giants by 3, Patriots by 6.

Thanks for the contest...

That sucks.
Let's talk when and where the largest Cutthroat trout was caught. Where was the largest Boone and Crockett Elk
shot. What is the maximum muzzle velocity of the Winchester 223 with an 80 grain bullet? Football???
Oh, give me a break. High school kids that never grew up.

pursuitofliberty · January 19, 2012 12:19PM

Great accomplishment Crypto ...

As for the guess ... Niners by 9, Patriots by 4

but heck, I have no clue!

melvin289 · January 19, 2012 12:23PM

Like Bochiman I don't even know who is playing. Congratulations on accomplishing the goal though. May your next endeavor go as well.

Baley · January 19, 2012 12:33PM

I'll guess Patriots by 10 and 49ers by 7, since that's the format of the guesses so far, but it kind of sounds from the OP that it would suffice to say NE, SF, 17.

Anyway, coingrats on your set, thanks for the chance, and best of luck 'skins in 2012

stephunter · January 19, 2012 12:34PM

Patriots win by 15, 49'ers win by 2.

SeattleSlammer · January 19, 2012 12:36PM

Cisco by 14.

Pats by 14 too.

Chump4Change · January 19, 2012 12:37PM

49ers 17
Ravens 6

mbbiker · January 19, 2012 12:38PM

chaze215 · January 19, 2012 12:47PM

Niners by 6 Pats by 10

Thanks and congrats!

crypto79 · January 19, 2012 12:51PM

Doesn't count but my guess

49ers run too much and it neutralizes the Giants pash rush and keeps manning off the field= 49ers +17

Baltimore loses to Brady in the final min= NE +4

Crackout · January 19, 2012 12:53PM

Congratulations on completing your set.

I've never actually completed a set like that, so I don't know the feeling!

Patriots by 7
Niners by 3

Sorry, but gotta go with the home teams here. I love Shanahan (I'm a Denver guy), but the Redskins won't reach the next level until they solve the QB issue.

Maybe they should go after the other Manning?!

jetblack740il · January 19, 2012 12:53PM

San Francisco by 10
Patriot by 13

epcjimi1 · January 19, 2012 12:57PM

Coinosaurus · January 19, 2012 1:14PM

This has got to be one of the most creative attempts ever at facilitating OT discussion, so naturally I will participate

Ravens by 3. Sorry my friends from Boston, but beating Denver at home doesn't impress me.

Giants by 7. Going with the hot hand.....

jesbroken · January 19, 2012 1:23PM

Thanks for the opportunity, crypto. Here is how I hope it will turn out. Giants by 6, Patriots by 12 for a combined margin of 18.

Congratulations again! I wish you wouldn't have picked football, I'm not even gonna try because someone's probably already guessed it. Thanks for the give away though.

stealer · January 19, 2012 1:35PM

Giants by 1

Patriots by 7

Thanks Crypto

MarkInDavis · January 19, 2012 1:39PM

drwstr123 · January 19, 2012 1:53PM

Giants by 29
Patriots by 13
Thanks.

ModernCoin · January 19, 2012 1:53PM

First off, CONGRATS on such an accomplishment! I've been trying to learn about trade dollars of late as I'm quite drawn to them and their history.

Combined margin of 18

Pats by 9
Giants by 9

...and I pray the Giants crush the Pats in the big dance. I can't stand the Pats so even if the 49ers win I don't care as long as they beat the Pats. I just think the Giants have a much better chance of beating the Pats because they're one of the few teams that has in recent years. Anyway we all know Grossman is going to lead the skins to the promised land next year, or Shanahan will find someone better (hopefully!).

Never forget:

Number 44...
