The Official Guess the Grade (GTG) Thread Game

The rules are quite simple. Someone posts a GTG coin. No new GTG post can be made until the current GTG is completed. The post is active for guesses until the poster posts the grade and opens the thread up for another GTG poster.

I don't understand your rules.
If your Lincoln is not AU then it is MS65BR
What's hard to understand? No one else posts a GTG until I post my grade. So on, etc...
I don't typically get into forum etiquette discussions (anymore), but may I suggest just using the traditional format of one thread per GTG coin, but limiting yourself to maybe two or three at a time max? I probably won't bother with a thread in this format... in case you or anyone cares.
People complain there are too many. Then you complain when there is one. F##k this place. I'm gone!
Ok, I understand it now.
Here's one:
GTG!
PS: Does it have to be a 1909 cent?
Sorry, I didn't realize that "may I suggest" represented complaining. A single thread has a lot of disadvantages, one of which is there's no way to know when a new coin or result is posted. You have nice coins and I'm sorry to see you go, but if you can't handle a suggestion without losing your temper, maybe it's for the best. Cheers.

I hope you do not go. I think you let the people complaining get the better of you. There is no rule on threads. You did nothing wrong.
I suggest you go back to your GTG threads. As many as you have. If it takes up half of the first page, I, and the complainers, can readily click our mice or touch our screens to get to page 2. It really is no trouble at all, although that won't stop the complainers.
There will always be complainers. The key is to ignore them (in the case where you are doing nothing wrong).
I'll close by stating 'thank you for your military service' if the forum does not hear from you again.
P.S. Could you please post the grade on the 35-S WLH prior to exit or as part of your staying on.

Remember Lackland when you came in as a rainbow flight and nobody knew what to do? It’s like that. You gotta press on and ignore all the stupid stuff. HUA. Post for your own reasons.
Hey Alan- don’t quit or I will have to bust into my “chair force” routine😁

I thought I was having a bad day at work, so I decided to check this place out during my supper break and wow! I guess I'm not the only one having a bad day.

I fixed my attitude during traffic. Brake checked a Prius driver. All is well now. Posted up a few new GTG.... some nice ones although a tad on the blurry side.
the photos are too dark to render a good guess, but since I like guessing games i am going with a 66
edit: ooops ... RB
I'd say 65RB
Collector, occasional seller
64RB due to prints and spots. Tough to get a gem grade on a woody to boot. Need a thicker skin to hang here....

Rainbow, rainbow, don't be blue,
Your complainer was a rainbow too.
Hang in there, I love your coins. Wish they were in virtual albums.

66RD on the S VDB (if this is still a GTG thread.)
Some of the problems are the OP takes too long to post the real grade.
64RB
Somebody has to get it right first.

I was thinking of all the other coins in all the other various threads the OP created over the last couple of days.
dude, I thought you were leaving?? have you changed your mind and seen reason?? it's interesting to me that you've now tried to make some forum rules after some members suggested you modify your posting habits.
I'm not playing.
Well now... A bit of drama for an early Wednesday morning...
Clear skies, sun shining, autumn leaves are BEAUTIFUL..... I feel great and ready to kick butt and take names... 
Cheers, RickO

Darn I was way off on that one

I don't see what the big deal is, have you happen to notice how fricking boring this place is lately. No need to pile on, just go piss on somebody else's cheerios.
And stop...
If you wait long enough it’ll get exciting again ..... it’s just the boredom that makes it seem like it’s not exciting.
I'm in...

So I guess there are some unwritten rules around here and I just pissed on the etiquette part
Anyway, I picked RD hoping the brown in the fields was just shadowing from all the luster.

These are easy to grade, right?
OP:
Everyone's gansta until they listen to Pete Drake's "Forever".
It'll clear up your poor attitude. I promise.

@Jimnight you got it!
