GTG 1954 Lincolns for a second chance.

Coinscratch · February 8, 2026 10:52AM

I’m giving everyone a second chance!
GO AGAIN.

I have two 1954 Denver Lincolns.
Guess the exact grade for each (they are different). THE VARIETY IS NOT NECCESSARY!
You get two chances and edited posts are nullified contestants.
The correct guess will have a choice of the lower graded Lincoln or the 1932 P Washington or be entered in a draw if more than one person is correct.
Good luck!

Coin 1

Coin 2

The Washington.

Guess the grade of the Lincolns the quarter is the prize.
And I like the quarter as a 65/66.
It has full cartwheel luster along with five or six hits, but it’s definitely uncirculated.

Here are some (maybe) better pics of the prize. Drowned it with as much light as I could, to show the cartwheel better.

An then my original take after purchasing Yesterday.

I just realized there can be no draw because whoever puts the right answer up first will win.

Also, you must include the variety or even if you get the grades right no dice.

It’s unfair to everyone who had already guessed, for you to subsequently state that the variety must be included or “no dice”. It was also unfair to make comments such as “The varieties are absolutely correct however, the grades are not.” as that gives an advantage to anyone who hasn’t guessed yet.

Even though your intentions were good, you’ve conducted the contest poorly and unfairly.

I would disagree as in the opening statement it says exact grade. I don’t know how else you could allude to a variety without giving it away.

As far as the grade, if I didn’t give hints along the way, we would never get there and at this point I’m not sure we will.

You get one shot don’t muck it up.

The “exact grade” is comprised of a number and a color designation (or, if applicable, a detail grade), not any particular variety.
Giving hints to speed things up is unfair those who already guessed and for that reason, I have no interest in guessing. But thank you for the opportunity.

Well, that’s what can happen when you’re always punctilious. Besides, if you were paying attention, you would’ve seen that in the very first guess that the variety was named.
Sure, I could’ve said name the variety. But they’re only happens to be one variety for that year and mint Mark.
So I went with exact which to me and most other people in the world means exactly what it says on the freaking slab.

Furthermore, I wasn’t inviting you to grade. I was just making a statement. I know you don’t waste your time with these games but here we are.

I saw that the first guess included a variety. That shouldn’t have any bearing on a requirement that other guesses include it.

And for the record, I sometimes do waste my time participating in other GTG threads. Now, who hasn’t been paying attention? 😉

Let’s not complicate this anymore than it already is lol. I feel like I need to check with the rules official but since nobody else has said RB then it’s probably safe for me to go ahead and say that they are both RD.
