~ Guess The Grade Roulette~

Rules

  • The first person to correctly guess the grade posts the next GTG.
  • Designations such as FH,FB,RD,RB,BN etc should be added to your guess where applicable to count.
  • One guess per person. (You can still interact, respond, or talk about the coin after guessing)
  • If the correct grade has not been guessed in 24 hrs, reveal the grade of the coin and post another in its place.
  • Any US Coin or Pattern.
  • Try to use clear images.
  • Block out grade and certification number. Free tool here if needed - https://redacted.app/
  • Must be either PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or CACG graded.
  • No details, altered surfaces, questionable color, etc. Must be straight-graded.
  • You do not have to own the coin.
  • If the grade-guessing winner doesn't post a new GTG in 24 hours, anyone can post the next GTG.
  • If the grade-guessing winner doesn't want to post the next GTG he/she should specify that anyone can post the next GTG.
  • Notify the correct winner/guesser by tagging them (@ winner's name) in the grade reveal.
  • Be nice, have fun, and no grade-guess shaming!

    Do designations (FH, FB, FBL, RD, BN, RB, CAM, DCAM, etc...) count as part of the grade? Technically, they are separate from the grade, but this is your game and paradigm.

    It shouldn’t be one guess per day, it should be one guess per coin.

    Morning, no one got it yet so I'll give a hint.
    No FH and the coin looks grossly under-graded in hand.

    (I'll use closer images instead of slab shots next time. Now that I am on my monitor, I can see that is needed).

    According to the rules, it was @Davidk7 ’s turn to post a coin, unless he decides to pass. My apologies if my post created any confusion by tagging two individuals.

    Since @FlyingAl has already posted his coin, I'll concede to him. Guess I gotta guess another grade correctly >:)

    My mistake! I thought anyone could post after the grade was revealed.

    Yes! You nailed it. But good guesses to everyone else also. 👍

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 24,185 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Even up to MS65, the liberty gold can look very “choppy” after looking at many examples over the last few years I do agree with this grade…
