I was high by a + on 1 coin
I was high by one grade on 4 coins
I was high by two grades on 1 coin
I was low by a + on 1 coin
I was low by one grade on 5 coins
I was low by two grades on 3 coins
<< <i>PCGS was kind enough to mail me the results of my try at the contest. I got 5 right out of 20. The winner got 8. It was a fun experience!

No doubt, really close, but only in horseshoes, hand grenades, and cornhole.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
We're doing it again at the Long Beach show, Feb 2-4 and giving another MS65 Saint as a prize.
We're also having a kids contest on Saturday Feb 4 (prize is an MS65 Morgan dollar).

Hoard the keys.
<< <i>Are they going to give a date the coins were graded? There is a 2+ grade variation between how the identical coin would grade over time. My recommendation would be to get the top 3-5 specialist dealers in certain areas, have them form a consensus grade and see if the PCGS graders are even close to the actual grade. >>
It's somewhat unusual to see a well known PCGS authorized dealer consistently bagging on PCGS here on the forum. So if your 2+ grade variation over time theory is correct, are you saying a PCGS coin graded a MS63+ in the past would be an MS66 today, or vice versa?
3 correct.
missed two by the designation only (copper color and forgot to write cameo on the proof dime),
missed 5 by 1/2 point (4 low, 1 high. Silly +)
missed 6 by 1 grade (3 high, 3 low)
missed 1 by 1 1/2 point low
missed 3 by 2 grades -- two of these were the "AU61" gold, one of which was 58, the other was 61, and I had them reversed. The other was the F15 SLQ I graded VG10.

This is an excellent idea. Certainly, such a contest may generate additional interest in coins among kids and could be a lot of fun. When I was a kid, I may have very much enjoyed a grading contest.

CoinFacts subscribers should certainly be allowed to compete. I'll fix that.

Do you have to be a PCGS member to participate? My shop is as a whole, but not me personally. In other words we are a PCGS member under the shop name.

I asked at the PCGS booth at the begging of the show and was told, "No."
