    Not sure what kind of hint I can give.

    We can only guess once. I hope you are not looking for the variety because that is just work and not fun for someone who does not know the varieties.

    I was just thinking about a hint for today. There isn't a VAM labeled.

    @Torey, can you include a rule that would give the poster 24 hours of guesses and if no one guesses correctly in that time a new coin will be posted by the non guessed poster? Not fun IMO waiting 2 days and no one guessed correctly. Just a thought.

    I agree with that.

    @PickinndGrinnin: you could opt to reveal the coin & post another one. While there’s no rule/requirement from the OP as far as a time limit, it’s been done several times previously from other posters. This keeps the roulette wheel moving.

    @David7, correct. You’re up.

  • ToreyTorey Posts: 390 ✭✭✭✭

    @jfriedm56

    What does everyone think of revealing after 48 hrs? Gives the opportunity for 2 guesses.
    If the consensus is 24 hrs, I will oblige.

  • jfriedm56jfriedm56 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Torey, I don’t know. To move it along more quickly and keeping it interesting, I vote for 24 hrs. tops.

  • ToreyTorey Posts: 390 ✭✭✭✭

    @jfriedm56
    Lets rock it for awhile and see what everyone thinks.
    New rule updated-

    • If the correct grade has not been guessed in 24 hrs, reveal the grade of the coin and post another in its place.

    Looks better than a 63 to me.

  • jfriedm56jfriedm56 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @PickinndGrinnin, I agree. Very conservatively graded in these earlier fatty NGC holders. Thought it would ‘4’ when I submitted it for grading 30 years ago.

    oops delete

  • Davidk7Davidk7 Posts: 599 ✭✭✭✭

    Oops sorry, I didn't see I got it right until now. I honestly thought it was a 4 but I knew it was an old fatty so no plus grades, and my other guess options were taken so I had to choose 63.

    And I talked myself out of 62 😆

    @pcgsregistrycollector, your turn to post the next coin.

  • jfriedm56jfriedm56 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @pcgsregistrycollector, hey bud are you there? You’re up next to post a coin. The one who guesses correctly puts the next coin in the roulette game in for a guess. That’s you.

    @oldabeintx, that’s a tough one as I have no experience grading Hawaiian cents. So My totally uneducated guess would be AU58 BN.

  • ToreyTorey Posts: 390 ✭✭✭✭

    I'll take a swing at AU55BN
    In the same boat as @jfriedm56.
