Hi, I thought it would be great to have an annual contest for best coin as voted by PCGS Forum members. So I am officially launching this contest and making the rules very simple. There will be 5 categories...
Sub $100, Sub $500, Sub $1,000, Sub $5,000, and Sub $20,000 (each according to PCGS Price Guide or most recent auction records). Post an image of your coin to match the stated categories. Forum members and guests will vote on your posted coin by Liking your post.
Contest will run from now until May 31 (and annually thereafter, in a new annual post). You can post multiple coins but each coins MUST be in a separate post (be careful not to compete with yourself, though). Cut-off for voting will be midnight Pacific Daylight Time, May 31, 2017. Coin post with the most number of Likes will win the respective category.
The prize will be a nice PCGS graded coin of my choosing (sub $25 value according to PCGS Price Guide). I will offer up the prizes myself (if someone wants to pitch in, then Message me). Let's have some fun and let the contest begin...

Rich men's contest. Wish I can join, but my highest valued slab was $50 in which I cracked open to put it back to OGP.
@TurboSnail there are 5 categories. And the Sub $100 should be a lot of fun!
Anyway to contact our host and ask them to chip in? Lets say free 1-5 submissions and grading for each of the winner.

For Less than $20K, what's not to like about an early Eagle?
'dude
My Type Set & My Complete Proof Nickel Set!
1802/1 Half Eagle PCGS AU55 CAC. It has a cool die crack on the reverse
1806/5 Browning-1 Draped Bust Quarter in PCGS AU58 CAC. Ex. Rory Rea Collection and a new purchase for me at FUN 2017. This die was actually used to strike the 1805 B-4 Quarter (before being overdated)! You can see part of the 5 under the lower left of the 6 in the date. All this for well under $20,000.....

@Boosibri.... That is an awesome gold coin....Incredible condition. Cheers, RickO
Thanks, only 65 for any date for The Portrait series
Latin American Collection
1911-D $2.50 Indian (strong D) PCGS MS 63 or MS 64 (if can get less than $20k).
The 1801 & 1805 $10 eagle are epic
I'll pick this one.
I like the small head turban five. They are far less numerous than the full bust and ...IMO... highly underrated. (like that means anything)
The 1813 is the single date that is easy to find.
(I would have liked to do my icon, but it falls out of the range)
Latin American Collection
1814 E/A Capped Bust Half PCGS MS63 CAC
1807 Small Stars Capped Bust Half PCGS AU55 CAC
I have two in this category, one is my avatar, this is the other, I paid way over MV, with no sticker because it was clearly undergraded, then it went for gold:
If you are willing to pay $20K for 64s be sure that you are driving a big truck to a major show...
PCGS 65RB Matte Proof
Bump, 48 hours of posting and voting left
WOW! WOW! WOW!
So many nice coins.!.!
Thanks for all of the great coins posted on this thread.
Wow, Some expensive and good looking coins in here!
Anyone else notice how upset and 'scowly' Liberty is on the 1801 Eagle and how happy and smiley she is on the 1805 Eagle??? On the 1800, it looks like she held something back and only a muffled 'pffft' escaped. All nice coins though!
