Update:
Here is the coin I bought that you were supposed to guess to win the giveaway.

My lame photo attempt:
Denomination: Half Dollar
Series: Walking Liberty
Year: 1941
Mint: Philadelphia
Strike: Proof
Grade: PCGS PR66
CAC: Green
Seller: Legend
Nobody guessed correctly beyond item 3 - year. Both of those said S mint and business strike. One of those had the grade at 65, the other at 66+. The 66+ is closer. So the winner is Coinerww2 who entered his guess in the U.S. Coins forum thread. I will be PMing him for mailing info.
Here is the coin I am giving away. A 1941-S Walking Liberty half in an ICG MS63 holder.
Here is how to win it. I bought a nice coin to commemorate my 1000 posts here. What is it? Guesses will be ranked in the following order.
1. Denomination
2. Series
3. Year
4. Mint
5. Proof or Business Strike
6. Grade
7. Bean (Gold, green, or none)
8. Seller
9. Price
10. Date purchased
As soon as you get one item wrong your done. So if you get Denomination, Series, and Year right, but Mint wrong, you get 3. It does not matter if you got the grade or seller, etc right. If you get everything right through Grade, you get a 6. Highest score wins. I may consider who is closest to break a tie. If someone gets all ten (and has no inside information) he wins. If you have any inside info, please do not participate. One guess per person. Only board members who joined before today (10/11/2012) are eligible. Hopefully, I have explained this clearly and not forgotten anything. I reserve the right to clarify, modify as necessary. My decision as to winner is final. I am dying to post images of my purchase, so I will probably close this by the end of the weekend.
