Cool contest, and lots of fun. If you take out the cam/dcam designations, I missed by 3 points total (I liked #4 as a 67 and #1 as a 65). I am so used to my cams being ignored that I must be getting jaded! Let's do it again soon.
Developing theory is what we are meant to do as academic researchers and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
Funny thing is that several of my PR69 '64's have a nice cameo contrast but didn't get the designation. The one you see in the pic is really a 68 IMO and it is my belief that sometimes a coin that really should be a CAM gets a little bump, but no designation.
Lots of fun, thanks Russ. I really knew the correct grades on every coin, I just didnt want to show up the other guys and gals. I guess Im just a humble bear.
Hey Bear, I'm like you also. I knew the grades in the contest, but didn't want to intimidate the younger crowd here. So, like you, I placed dummy grades! When we get this old, and can still see, we have options, of course!

Thanks for the contest...
Could you edit your first post and place the results there so I can learn to grade better?
Thanks!

I'm suprised that coin#4 didn't get a CAM designation. It has much more frosting than #1.

I had guessed them at:
#1 67 (that is really a 64??????)
#2 68CAM
#3 68DCAM
#4 68CAM
#5 67DCAM
You counted correctly, that's the same score I have for you.
Russ, NCNE
Sure is hard to see how that #3 is 2 points higher than #4
Here were my guesses:
#1 66
#2 67 DCAM
#3 67 CAM
#4 67 CAM
#5 66 CAM
