1st Submission results! Guess-the-Grade-#1 GRADES POSTED

EDITED: Congratulations steveben for being the first to guess all of the grades correctly including the tie-breaker!

EDITED #2: I will keep the contest open until Midnight Friday, Sept. 9th (EDT)

EDITED #3: Double your chances of winning by guessing in This thread too!


I got my first free 8 submissions back from PCGS last month (all Morgans). PCGS assigned the following grades:

AU-58 - 1 ea.
MS-62 - 1 ea.
MS-63 - 1 ea.
MS-64 - 3 ea.
PCGS Genuine - 2 ea.

Images of the first 4 coins are depicted below. Your challenge is to correctly guess the grade of each coin. If multiple posters guess all of the grades correctly, then as a tie-breaker, the first person to guess the the Genuine Coin and it's condition code correctly wins! The Genuine coins is either 92 or 94.

Oh, and the winner will receive the PCGS Genuine slabbed coin depicted in the OP.

The First 4 coins are:

1883-CC
1883-O
1884-CC
1886

Good luck!

Cheers!

P.S. this is my first give-away too! I'll be posting the other 4 coins from the submission soon with the same prize conditions above in another thread. So you have a chance to win twice!

EDITED: Please NO edits, with the exception given in my second post below. Only ONE guess and only 3 of the 4 coins depicted actually bear a PCGS grade, the 4th coins is a PCGS Genie, which carries no Grade. Thanks!

    Whatever.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Folks, One of the 4 coins depicted in the OP is a GENUINE coin. Sorry I didn't make that clear. For those who posted before this clarification I will allow edits. PCGS does not assign grades to Genuine coins as they "cannot be graded".

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers!

    Nope. That was the purpose of the tiebreaker. At least one of the four coins in the OP came back in a Genuine slab. So your guess is now the model of how future guesses should be framed.

    I was at the Penn State-Alabama game all day Saturday. I wasn't able to post the grades until Sunday, 27 hours BEFORE you felt the urge to post your remarks here.

    Cheers!
