Meant to come back and do this, great contest! I would have only gotten 3 anyway. I was stuck on 58 for the 1808, so started off the bat wrong. Still all very nice coins.
Thanks Lance and congrats on 10 years! I think this is now the second contest of yours i’ve pulled off!
To be honest, i used a little strategy on this one and the wording in the OP and knowing lance to assume there had to be a 58 and a 58+, no coins at 60, a 61,2,3, and 64 to make sure only 1 duplicate numeric used. I had originally graded the 1811 as an ms64, but something looked different the longer i looked at it and i had already graded the 25 as a 64. I had the 1808 at either 58+ or barely unc technically and knowing i already had two at 58 i had to go unc. Then knowing to be exact i needed 1 more plus grade i put it on the 25 and boy was that a lucky guess! Just looked the most original and i figured something lookwise kept one of them from gem and that was it.
THIS WAS A TOUGH CONTEST!
It definitely helps having this good of pictures though! Thanks again!
I'm surprised I got even two right when you consider I've never even held one of these in any condition. I'm glad I got the final one right because that was the one I put the most thought in to. Most impressive vbowling!
