I submitted a group of bust halves not long ago for regrade during one of the PCGS specials in the hopes of getting some upgrades. Take a look at these 5 halves and guess their grades.
To make it more interesting, I’ll give a First Day of Issue 2007 D George Washington Golden Dollar graded PCGS MS65 to the first person who correctly guesses the grades before midnight EST on Friday. Only one guess per player and no editing please. I’ll announce the winner over the weekend.
Feel free to also attribute them if you wish.
Good luck to all who play!

Just guessing, I don’t collect them, but I do like them, especially those.
I grade group two as ... DAMN DAMN!!

I make it a practice on GTGs to guess prior to looking at responses. Part of my practice is to 'stick to my guns' and post the guesses unrevised/unaffected by the thread guesses. I just don't see circulation on three of them. Here goes and I understand I'm at risk of lols:
24 - 64
25 - 65
29#1 - 58+
29#2 - 55+
39-O - 63

Not going to edit, so I'll add this.
After a second look, I think the second 1829 is a O-105, but I mashed that last night and didn't double check.
Also, I think I kind of blew it on a couple of Dates!
Thanks for posting these Dave! Great CBH's, each and every one of them!!

Excellent guesses so far everyone!
If no one guesses all 5 correctly, I will give the the Washington golden dollar to the person who first guesses the most correct.
Thanks for playing and for the kinds words!

Beautiful coins! 😍
Congrats to JBN for guessing one of them correctly.
Surprisingly, these were a difficult group to grade, as the guesses were all over the place, but some were very close.
I was very pleased with my upgrades, but most of all the 1839-O. Such a tough coin to find with nice surfaces and beautiful toning in my opinion.
Thanks for playing everyone.
Dave
Beautiful!
