The prize is the coin shown. The rules are simple. To enter, post a numismatic idea or thought. Late Thursday the post that has received the most "likes" is the winner. Multiple posts are fine but the "likes" are not cumulative.

Have fun!

    Bullion should not be graded :)

    That's my thought. Have fun, all!

    Cool giveaway. I always thought it would be nice to have a Full Hand designation on Walking Liberty Halves.

    How about PCGS giving commemorative halves and other series the PL designation similar to NGC?

    As a collector I completely agree, as an investor (of CLCT) I completely disagree. :)

    Edited to include "of CLCT" for clarification.

    If I win please award my prize to one of the youthful collectors here that has a limited budget.

    Its a fine line between Collecting and investing. I don't think anyone collecting does not think that they are at least investing in something to pass on to the next generation, and in that, will help keep the industry alive for years to come.

    Best place to buy !

    "History In Your Hands, Donald J. Trump, 45th President (tm)", is the biggest under / over in PCGS ASE promotional label history. I'll go under. DJT and ASEs? No-one cares.

    Coin grading should have a separate label designation for degree of eye appeal of tarnished coins. Such as
    MS69/EA9 (on a scale from 0-10). Cheers, RickO

    I'm saying that your comment that "nobody cares" is rather obscene for an apolitical forum. So I'm saying, let's not bring our personal political feelings here.(*you're, for future reference)

    One of the best TV quotes ever (IMHO) makes me think about numismatics. In the last episode of "The Office" Andy said, "I wish there was a way to know you’re in the 'good old days' before you’ve actually left them."

    This draws my mind to the days before third party grading, eBay, gradeflation, the demise of B&Ms, and the like. Although I remain bullish on coin collecting, I think the "Golden Days" of numismatics has passed....

    I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!

    The Variety Attribution Quarterly special (April-Jun 2017) is a good idea, however, our host should reduce the attribution fee by half if the submitter correctly identifies the variety, saving the attributor time, which would save money. If the coin is not variety attributable, our host charges half of the present $18 per coin. Why not use the other side and charge half for a properly identified variety? ANACS does.

    *Will I be charged if my coin does not qualify for Variety Attribution?*
    In the event the coin does not qualify for a variety or is not a variety PCGS currently recognizes, PCGS will still charge a fee of $9 per coin. PCGS graders must examine the coin and research to determine whether or not a variety is appropriate. Thus the service is still provided. As a result, PCGS will only charge 50% of the original Variety Attribution fee.

    Here's an idea - moving from using images to using short videos when selling by using a little gizmo with a turntable and a phone holder to take short videos of coins accompanied by a simple app that takes the video and uploads to your youtube channel or instagram and create an embed code for your auction listing. Rotation would allow for showing surfaces and luster and having a standard set-up will allow people to shoot large volumes of coins.

    Cheers!

    I am getting my Grandchildren ages 5 and 11 interested in the hobby.
    They understand the minting process, differences of copper, silver, gold.
    It is also an economic lesson, showing how large a cent from the 18th Century had much more purchasing power.
    Have a few games involving pocket change such as finding a certain year-mint mark.
    We have a good time doing it.
