This one is going to be a bit of a pain, but Buffalo collectors will enjoy.
Start working on a list of applicable types, remember they must be in Copper, Nickel, or Silver.

MS 1883 Registry Set
2 Cent, 3 Cent and 20 cents are also not included.
I will check on the state quarters as they did not come up in earlier conversations.
I can confirm Chain Cent, Wreath Cent, V Nickel and Peace Dollar.

"V nickel" and "wheat cent" apply just as "buffalo nickel" applies, because all have 'other' names that describe their obverse - the latter of the three being "indian head nickel." As far as I'm concerned the wheat cent would apply more so than the others because the name of the sub-series is all reverse oriented, because there are two completely different reverses to the overall series, both of which are referred to by their reverse design name in common conversation.
What it boils down to is a set of ambiguous, vague rules that need to be clearly defined.

Hope so ... I have been debating cracking one each year of the silver proof sets I have and submitting the statehood quarters from them. This would save me quite a bit of time and money.

Lincoln cent = wheat cent or memorial
Liberty nickel = "V" nickel
Indian head nickel = buffalo nickel
I understand not allowing 2 cent, 3 CN, 3 CS, 20 cent, half dime, etc. just because the denomination is on the reverse. There are other characteristics that they do go by. For example the Kennedy half dollar. Its the Kennedy that distinguishes it.
I would think that the 2004/2005 nickels will qualify. We've been told the "V" nickel, buffalo nickel, and chain cents and wreath cents do too. Guess it's time for me to get all those raw chain cents that I have out that are capable of being certified by PCGS and send one in.
<< <i>Wheat cent? Memorial cent? >>
Yep, this will be easy. Bicentenial coinage?
My list includes what I stated in my other post and the Buffalo Nickel.
Part of the fun is trying to make everyone think but I will relay that you feel this special was ambiguous.
Carol
Chain Cent
Wreath Cent
Trade Dollar (because if the accept peace dollars they have to accept Trade dollars for the same reason.)
Minnesota Quarter etc.
Buffalo Nickel (beacuse they already say so even if it's frequently known as an Indian Head Nickel)
That's all I can see out of the red book. Peace and Trade dollars should be popular.

Carol,
I think that your PR dept or whoever is responsible for deciding the quarterly promotion (I understand from this week's Q & A that David is not involved) should recognize that IF there is an intent to do this promotion it should be something that is reasonable and also very clear. People are not interested in guessing games unless the result of their guessing will be a positive experience. That said, it seems the intent this time is to accept Buffalo nickels and maybe Peace dollars. But Chuck makes a very good point that the Buffalo nickel is also very well known as the Indian head nickel. And if you accept that, you also should accept the Wheat cent, the Memorial cent, etc., etc. And so you have lots of confusion and lots of disappointed club members. Is that good PR? My suggestion is for you guys to go back, reevaluate, and pick ONE coin, hopefully one that would generate a reasonable response consistant with your overall goals for this promotion. This current plan will only upset more people than it is worth to PCGS. IMHO. Steve

It's impossible to "think" when you have to "guess" the off-beat rules set forth by people who don't want to play by them. You set forth a simple game, then change the rules with every collector response. Actually what I believe is that you've received a far wider range of responses that should fit in the rules than you expected and are backing out as gracefully as possible.
I don't "feel" it's ambiguous, I "know" it's ambiguous. I've been collecting coins for over 25 years, and just about everyone I've heard refer to the Lincoln cents of 1909-1958 call them "wheat pennies" or "wheat cents." Last I looked the wheat they refer to is on the reverse of the coin. Same thing applies to the "buffalo nickel" - not close to the same thing, but THE same thing. The coins have a different name in some "official" circles, but are referred to by their reverse design.
I'm guessing this will fall under the clause that the "entire" series runs to date, and not ALL of them are referred to as "wheat cents," rather "Lincoln cents," and the Lincoln referred to in that case is on the obverse. If this should happen to be the case, I could insert a comment here that applies, but will reserve it so far as to say I'm thinking of something that IS referred to by its "reverse" and starts with "bull."
I have heard the "V nickel" called the "Liberty nickel" to understand where an arguement lies there, but still they are commonly called the "V nickel," which should fall under the catch-all rule of coins referred to by their reverse...it is, but maybe not in your book by your rules.

Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
I'd cut and paste the article but I'm not sure that's legal.
So if you think something should be included, post it, and Carol will clarify next week!!
Three errors large cent (1801)?
<< <i>Sorry, submission forms are not available to those with free memberships. Our Collectors Club memberships have changed! >>
Man! What's a YN supposed to do? Fork out all his money for signing up, add a bunch more for grading, and then I dont have money left to buy coins to submit!
I used to be able to directly submit.. looks like they weren't making enough so now they make you pay for that privelage.
<< <i>What about Silver American Eagles? The eagle is on the reverse. Do those qualify? I agree with other comments this is a very ambiguous requirement. Just post a listing of the coins that can be graded for the quarterly special. That way no one can argue or be disappointed. >>
I agree no one can argue, but I still run the chance of being disappointed. My last quarterly freebie came back Body Bagged!
