    I think those are really tough judging by CoinFacts. My first try on those.)

    "SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE!" :o

    I'm guessing high cause I got faith in your grading eye! (Poet, blah, blah, blah!)

    You went really high :D and yes they look good but those were a total roll of the die.
    I always throw in a few extra oddballs with every order of what I’m really concerned about (cents) if nothing else just to learn.

    Since this is going over like a pregnant nun at a Halloween party and also put no stipulations on editing I’ll throw in a few nougs.

    No grades yet! We currently have 12 entrants including @Crypto ’s up and down guess on return which, I have to admit has me sweating a little bit :-)

    I’ll call the game and post results once they’re in.

    I think the contest should be "How many drinks did it take to come up with this contest?" :D:D

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 9,022 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Steven59 :D Yea uh, I did one of these a while back and had the same dismal results. Short term memory loss is a mfer. Anyway, feeling confident and cocky about my grading ability so I thought I’d pour myself another.

    Absolutely just edit your answers and unfortunately I don’t have pics of all or even good pics of the ones shown.
    One of the main reasons I did it this way is because once the TVs come out there is no hiding, at least for the good ones.

    The two on the right. Was the only pics of those.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 9,022 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @mannie gray I hope your wrong too but your spot on for the first two.
    67 seems so tough on the coppers.
    I liked the toning and just went for it.

    They seem to have more leniency on the zincs. I literally have boxes of 66 and 67’s and only a handful of 68’s. Most of this order to me looked better than the 67’s.

    68’s need that full head of hair or strike so I’m hoping luster, eye appeal, and clean fields make up the difference on a few.

    Lincoln’s piss them off? Maybe I shouldn’t send 15 or 20 at a time. I was trying not to waste boxes :#

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 9,022 ✭✭✭✭✭

    GRADES ARE IN. I only got 4 right...

    Congratulations @mannie gray is the winner with 6 correct answers - PM me which coin you want.
    Second place had a three way tie between @MarkInDavis @Steven59 @gumby1234 with 5 correct answers each.
    I drew names and @gumby1234 won 2ond. PM me your shipping address.

    Thanks to everyone who played along!
    @crypto won the side bet :D I'm upside down about a Hundo plus the cost of prizes - Back to the drawing board.
    I'll post images once they arrive to the coin roll hunting page since 13 of them came from such.

    Yes :D I only got 4 right and actually got hold the coins. I need to bring my coins out of the shadows and into a brighter light. I was really counting on this one, based on what? An image taken out of the main beam with a cell phone although in hand it looks much better.

    Same thing applies to the 80D and maybe a few others.
