This is the 3rd consecutive year I have sponsored/administered this contest. Winners/Guru Pickers of past contests can be viewed here:
1st Annual Coin Picker Guru Contest Winners
2nd Annual Coin Picker Guru Contest Winners
The purpose of the contest is to pick the coin that will have the greatest PERCENTAGE price increase between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2005. The rules for the 2005 contest will be simlar to prior years. Rules for eligible coins are as follows:
1. Must appear in the CDN Bluesheet or the CDN Weekly or Monthly Greysheet. I will use the values in the last 2004 weekly edition of the Bluesheet and Greysheet, along with the December 2004 monthly greysheet as the starting values. If you submit a coin that appears in the Monthly supplement to the bluesheet I will use the Dec. 2004 edition as the starting value. If you are unsure if your selection appears in the eligible price sheets, please PM me and I will tell you. (Please try not to post entries here unless your sure they qualify...that will help us keep this thread length managable. PM me with any entry questions) I will use the 'bid' values for all coins. If you submit a coin that appears in both the greysheet and bluesheet, the greysheet number will be used unless you specifically state at the time of submission that you want the bluesheet figures to be used.
2. Value of the coin (as determined above) must be between $100 and $2,500 on the beginning date of the competition, Jan. 1, 2005. I know this is arbitrary but it is intended to keep out the super low end and super high end coins. I'd like the focus to be on coins available to most budgets but with good liquidity.
3. End of the measuring period will be the last weekly bluesheet/greysheet of 2005 or the Dec. 2005 Monthly greysheet/bluesheet which contains the coin you submitted.
4. Entry submission cutoff date is midnight Dec. 31, 2004.
5. After entry cutoff, I will post a seperate thread listing all of the coins (and forum ID of submitter) which meet the above referenced criteria. Purpose of the supplemental thread will be so forum members can have a single post as a handy reference to print out all eligible submissions to follow during the year.
6. First come, first served. In the past we have had 2 board members who submitted the identical coin. In case 2 members nominate the same coin, the first member to post his selection to this thread, is entitled to the choice.
7. WINNER WILL RECEIVE:
a.) much acclaim, glory and noteriety from his/her fellow forum members,
b.) bragging rights as coin investment guru of 2005,
c.) bottle of champagne to enjoy the New Year ($100 or less please) along with personal congratulations from yours truly
d.) any other prizes donated by charitable fellow contestents or interested board members. Please PM me if you have a prize you would like to donate to the contest winner. Appropriate credit will be given to all donors!

I think rumors the US mint plans to discontinue the lincoln cent and the result will be extreme price speculation.
<< <i>1927 S quarter in VF >>
Damn I hope not!..............Till I get mine. hehe
Thank You

Put me down for a 20-d Standing Liberty in MS60. I think some adjustment on a few of these better dates is in order on the Greysheet.

Dec 3, 2004 CCDN says $150 bid / $160 ask.
Been looking for a year, haven't found one yet.
(not to mention other dates, but got to pick just one)
CCDN price is just plain fantasy.
Feel like I got a head start.

I think that you meant (Morgan Dollar)1888-O DDO in EF40. I think that is an excellent choice...

1926-S in XF according to the greysheet.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

I was gonna go the same route, since I had the same thoughts you have voiced, but I think that we still have another year or two before a large run-up of the lincoln cents.....I think when the USMint actually announces what they will do, it will be more of a run-up.

I'm trying to get one at FUN, so I hope I get one before any run-up.
