Hints. Everything you need to see for this contest is in the area shown in the micrograph. There will be two images posted in total. The first image is taken at 7X. Tomorrow, I will post one at 10X. If the problem is not identified at 10X I'll be very disappointed. The contest will end with no winner and I don't give prizes for participation. In that case, I'll post a 15X image and explain the problem. Additional hint: The piece is not bent.
Rules:
- Anyone can enter.
- Contest will end this coming Sunday at 6 PM EST.
- You must state the problem you see.
- One entry each member.
- Choice of the prize will be determined by the winner from a pick of several options.
- ANSWERS ONLY ACCEPTED IN A PM!
Anyone who detects the problem will be entered in a drawing on Monday and the winner announced.
NO COIN WILL BE SHIPPED TO AN ADDRESS indicating it is a coin as my postage cost doubles. Allow several weeks for the prize to be shipped. I don't get around much.
Read this carefully: Folks who guess the problem correctly with just the first image (7X) will receive two chances in the drawing. Folks who guess correctly after that using the more magnified image (10X) will get one chance.
Good Luck,
Sneaky Pete!

Are all in the drawing. One poster was disqualified. BTW, the damage on this coin above IGWT is as different from a "pin scratch" as a rim nick is from a major clip.
Prize options will be sent tomorrow in a PM to each of you. Thanks for taking the time to play.
I'll do a new contest soon for those who missed this one.
oh wow I made just in time.
I'll take door #3, Monty!

Then he "disagreed" with this post of mine: @Insider2 said: "Rule #6 Private message."
So what do you disagree with? The fact that you think the major gouges on the coin over IGWT are called "pin scratches." LOL!
At one point at least one grading service nicely covered parts of the rim so you didn't have to worry too much about peripheral issues.
I meant to quote you not disagree to state I was sorry for killing your give away by posting here.
I was on my iPhone and then jumped to a desktop to remove my post which was up for a couple minutes.
Missed out already?
That was no fun.
...give me the Black Irish guy in the 2nd round for a dime
Wow... too late to the party..... all the wine is gone
Thought it was going to be a major party...Cheers, RickO
