In celebration of my 2000th post and third anniversary here, I have decided to sponsor a giveaway. The rules are pretty simple. I have posted images of 5 pattern coins. Guess the PCGS grade (including designations if any) and attribute each coin by Judd number. If you don't have a Judd book you can use this excellent website uspatterns.com
Each coin will be scored as follows: 100 points max with 1 point deducted for each point off on the assigned grade, 1 point deducted for each designation missed and 2 points deducted for a wrong Judd number.
A perfect score would be 500 total. Ties will be broken based on the order answers are recieved in. Please only one entry per person.

J1903 Rolled edge PCGS MS 65
Coin# 2
J73 original PCGS PR 66
Coin #3
J 633 PCGS PR 65 dcam

4. MS-68 (this one should be thrown out. Look how small the pic is. Thats crazy. No one can grade by that small of a pic)
5. MS-66RD
Cameron Kiefer
But I'm gonna guess that Cameron isn't going to win since he doesn't follow directions very well.
Ah, there they are. I've seen everyone in person but danged if I can remember the grades....
I followed the directions. -10 points for the Judd numbers missing but I can still win if I am the closest to the grades.
Cameron Kiefer
Don't enter me. I just want to see how I do on the grading.
PR66
PR65
PR67 DCAM
PR65 RD CAM
PR66 CAM
I wonder if he's grading on a curve?
Cameron Kiefer
TDN- Just knowing one coin doesn't give you an unfair advantage. Feel free to enter.
Cameron- That dime image is a good bit larger than life.

Leave it to Cammie to b*tch about a contest where someone is generously giving away some very nice material. If I was Boiler (I would own some MONSTER patterns!), no wait, if I was Boiler, I would disqualify your whiney azz just for being a p*ssant.

Can't do it. I'm afraid I might win, and unlike the rest of you, I know how tough it can be to sell French patterns.

Thanks for the contest.

Those are some great coins and I had fun with this contest.
I really like the 3rd place coin, so that is the one I'm going for If by some miracle I come in 1st or 2nd or 3rd - I'd like the 3rd place prize.
#1) J1903, MS-66
#2) J73, MS67
#3) J633, PR68DCAM
#4) J1587, MS67RD
#5) J208 (5 leaves reverse), PR66 CAM
If I didn't get 100% it was the subconcious trying to win the 3rd place coin
Congratulations on your 2000th/3rd year post - and unlike most of us, those were 2,000 USEFUL posts

FYI, Lakeboy, I was personally invited to play, and the only one I knew for a fact was the J-1587, which I got wrong...
