PCGS Photo Grading Contest #2!

Posts: 193 ✭✭✭
Hey everybody,
It's been more than a month since the first PCGS photo grading contest.
We had over 30 participants last time around!
The rules:
Enter your grades for each coin below, labeled eg: 1: MS65 , 2:MS66 , 3:F12...
All these coins are straight-graded business strikes.
None have a +.
Attributes such as FB or FS just count for style points.
Full credit is given for correct grades, half credit for one point off.
Top three scores get little digital trophies they can put in their signature, in addition to bragging rights.
Here's our next set of 10 coins.
Good luck!

First let me apologize for inserting this post into the thread but I couldn't figure how to contact the OP.
IMO, this is an EXTREMELY helpful/valuable exercise and I guess it is run by a member with either connections to PCGS or access to coins already graded by PCGS. I could never do this myself so I hope you take a suggestion that will allow even more learning to occur.
Besides the grade which is the only thing that counts, I enjoyed reading the reason given for the grade by two posters so far. Example: 1. 58 Then the poster could give a comment if they choose.
My thought process: When I saw the first coin AU-58 registered immediately due to obvious rub (change of color on high spots). Then I had to figure this test is based on the commercial grade and value so I raised my grade to MS. I put 62 (Mint State w/rub) LOL. This is what my entry would look like if the OP agrees to modify the rules so posters could add their comments:

If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

OK....sitting at a bar in a small city south of Seoul on a Friday night. Well into my second Jameson.
If I finish in the bottom 20%, I'll blame the alcohol.
If I finish in the bottom 10%, I'll blame toxic radiation from the North....
Thanks for running this!
