Celebration give-away...Winner announced!

I was happy to announce, in this thread, the completion of my IHC set (the last one was a 64RB 1867).

So what next? Right! A give away.

The contest was simple: Guess the five most expensive coins in the set, based on what I paid.

Many members correctly guessed four:
1877 63BN ($5000)
1909-S 65RB ($3100)
1872 65RB ($2910)
1869 65RB ($1850)

The trick was guessing the fifth. I said I paid 75% over guide for it. Good guesses included:
1908-S 64RD+
1871 64RB
1860 64
1864 "L" 64RB
1867 64RB
1859 64
1870
1868
1886 "V2" 64RB

...and the answer is, this is the one I paid too much for (maybe). It is the 1886 Variety 2.

Three members aced it. Vbowling299 was first, ahead of CuKevin and Tdec1000.

Congratulations Vbowling299! PM me with your shipping address. Here's your prize:

Congratulations, Lance, on completing a fun/classic set in such a high grade...they all look great together

Since I know nothing about this series and its keys, I have selected the five most attractive (IMHO). My logic is that eye appeal yields the highest hammers and opens the deepest pockets. Thanks for the chance! ~Nick
