Quarterly grading special: Got any birds in the oven yet?

Just curious what Forum members have sent in (or are planning to send in) for free grading on the current Collector's Club quarterly special.
I think that big bird on the reverse of the Walking Liberty Half makes a nice freebie submission for Thanksgiving, so I just put a 1919 into the mail to PCGS. I judge it to be a lock for 40, but (of course) I'm dreaming of a 45 as an early Christmas present.
Got anything cooking this quarter?

"Coin collecting problem"? What "coin collecting problem"?

Just anything with a bird? US only?
Practically all eagles, then. Nice if you're into US coins, but when do the Darksiders get a shot at something? Do they ever? I don't pay much attention to the Quarterly Specials, obviously.
Maybe they're worried we'd drown them in submissions. Maybe they'd be right about that. The Darkside is vast.

thread that we discussed a couple of three weeks ago. In that thread I indicated that there
was one and maybe two of the three coins that were fakes. I led you all to believe that this
coin was one of the two fakes. However, I was being deceptive, at least partly, until the very
end of the thread when I asked you if this coins was in fact a fake. Two of you responded
that it was real. The rest of you were all mute. Hmmmm. Only TennesseeDave and GoldenEye
Numismatics said that this was real. Well, I was not sure and did not intend to deceive so off
it went to PCGS and low and behold:

There was an "anything darkside" quarterly special about 2 years ago, also an "Olympic" themed special where they would accept darkside.
60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!

<< <i>1910 2 1/2 Indian. They got it on the 6th. No results yet. I forgot about the Franklin having a bird that didn't qualify as a special bird >>
What a coincidence!
It was either the 1919 Walker or a 1908 2 1/2 Indian for me. I decided to hold the gold for my eight-coin submission. I'd love to see a sharp image of your 1910 with the grade once you get it back. (Probably give me something to dream about.)

Upgrade or not, that is one fabulous coin!

<< <i>There was a thread about someone who sent in a Franklin Half for the quarterly special and it did not count for the special. Does anyone know what happened with that?
