    Nice @oldabeintx , you got it, I thought this one would drag longer.

    Can someone volunteer to do the next post? Indisposed suddenly. Sorry.

    Not much of a hint, but previous guesses (except one) have “No Arrows” as part of the grade. That is correct & what I was looking for.

    All: regarding the 1853 NA H10C PCGS 66 CAC. I was surprised at the guesses as the pics were good (highest @ 63+). The coin doesn’t show much at all in the way of marks. I will say luster didn’t show as it does in “real life”, but it’s muted anyway. Tough coin.

    I don't want to call your baby ugly, so let me just say it's nicer than Winston Churchill and Steve Buscemi. That coin has a look only an owner could love. : )

    hey hey hey, 61 is not a bad guess, I was at 58+ , in all honesty I saw 58-61 from OP scan, these little boogers are hard to grade often, so wash that grin off your face :D

    You’re right, 61 wasn’t a bad guess, it was a terrible guess. Where are the marks? This wasn’t a scan, it was a photo that accurately depicted the coin. Consider my “grin” washed o:)

    Should we add variety guessing to the contest ?
    Maybe guess the date and mint-mark as well ?
    That could be easier than guessing the grade ;)

    Don’t feel bad my next guess was 45.
    I did get the no arrows part but that was easy.

  • jfriedm56jfriedm56 Posts: 2,090 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Anyway? Back to the Jefferson. No clue, but I’d say MS65+.

    I meant that jokingly. The lack of arrows was the easy part to guess.

    I didn't want to ignore you, seriously now, when I first saw this one, I'm thinking, nice, I like it it, but oh so subtle wear, knees, arms, breasts, face etc.
    It could be the scuffed holder or my laptop (maybe cell, I forgot) , but the point is, its a GTG, it's what I saw or perceived at first glance, so I went with a guess of, ok this one is 58+, knowing it can go either way.
    I hope you did not take my comment as offensive.

    @marcmoish: absolutely did not! I saw some humor in all the later posts. But, to me, 58 grades are more accurate than 61’s any day. At least, I personally prefer them!
    I think Jefferson frog was attempting humor; that’s the way I took it. A little sloppy but humor just the same. My reply to him was probably just as sloppy (& I did wash my face)!

    All these sideways comments are what makes this thread so much more entertaining and enjoyable than just GTG. Hope it keeps on going. Zack
