And, another grade guessing contest - with prize!

Russ · August 24, 2002 4:29AM

Finally got around to shooting some of my extras this morning, so let's have another contest.

This one should be VERY easy and be over very quickly. Since these are all the same year, same series, this one should be a piece of cake for you grading wizards. Below the pictures, are the contest rules. Please read them carefully before guessing.

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

These are all PCGS slabs. Okay, it's very simple. Look at the above five coins and guess which graded the highest. The first person to POST the correct answer, including the grade, wins. It must be posted in the thread. PMs will not count.

The prize is a GEM BU 2001 Silver Eagle. Have fun!

I'm still trying to figure out why they don't say "1964" on them, you feeling ok??

#1 is my guess PR68DCAM?

supercoin,

I collect other years besides 1964. I just like 1964 the best.

Oh yeah, you won't find any clues at my site, or in either of my registry sets.

Sorry about the mistake in my reading. I made the edit.

I like #4. Actually I like them all, just forward the entire bunch to me

supercoin · August 24, 2002 4:47AM

#1 PR69DCAM (I'm assuming that dark spot below the eye is a reflection).

Or, alternatively, trick question and they're all PR68DCAM.

ldhair · August 24, 2002 4:48AM

#5 PR-68 DCAM

dakra · August 24, 2002 4:48AM

Supercoin,

You one sharp little cookie! PM me your address.

Russ, NCNE

Russ · August 24, 2002 5:10AM

PS: Number one is very PQ for the grade, so you're a sharp cookie twice.

#2 because it hasnt been said yet.

supercoin · August 24, 2002 5:22AM

Woohoo! I don't want to be accused of cheating though (two guesses), so how about giving it away again in another contest.

I'll just sit back and bask in glory. This won't count against my 15 minutes of fame, will it?

barrytrot · August 24, 2002 5:27AM

Supercoin,

You are the man!

Russ · August 24, 2002 5:28AM

Supercoin,

I didn't have a specifically delineated rule against two guesses. The only criteria was who got it right first.

BTW, number one is so primo I'm seriously considering sending it in for regrade. If I do, though, I think I'll send it along with a couple of the others and ask for regrade on them all. I figure when the graders compare an obviously superior 68DCAM to a group of garden variety 68DCAMs, I might get lucky.

Alrighty then, thanks!

Here's the nicest one of those that I've handled. Same grade as yours, by the way, so good luck with that 69.

MartyF · August 24, 2002 5:51AM

That's some cool neon lighting on that Kennedy, supercoin. I can picture a sign on top that says, "Eat at Joe's" LOL....nice coin BTW....

Russ · August 24, 2002 6:04AM

For comparison, here's the one 69DCAM that I own:

Very similar to #1 above.

Russ, NCNE

lordmarcovan · August 24, 2002 8:30AM

They're all ICG PR70 DCAM.

Or ACG PR85 FrostyIcyWhiteCam (TM).

Bear · August 24, 2002 9:26AM

Russ - The coins all grade PR-73 DC ACG, maybe even a little higher if you are real lucky. Bear

Darn, I just noticed that LM beat me to the humerous punch. Drat and double drat.

And, another grade guessing contest - with prize!
