Ryan's "Guess The Grade" Contest! Round 1
Hey everyone!

I just thought I'd like to hold a contest, mainly thanking all of the CT members here that have helped and supported me along the way.

Now, lets cut to the chase. This is a simple contest where all you have to do is guess thegrade of the coin I post! You do NOT win if you get the correct answer FIRST, you will just move on to the next round. So EVERYONE gets a chance to play!

Rules and Standards:

1. You must guess the exact grade of the coin.
2. You must PM me your answer. If you choose to post it on this thread, you will be disqualified from the contest.
3. You must be nice to other contestants. Discrimination of any kind will not be allowed.
4. You must have been a member of Coin Talk since May 25th, 2009. Anyone who joined after that date will not be allowed to participate.
5. You MUST have fun!

The PRIZE will be whatever I can come up with. It will be nice, trust me.

Okay, so this is Round 1's coin. This is a Lincoln of my own and is graded by PCGS:





Round 1 ends June 6th. After that, this round will be closed and no more PM's will be accepted. I will announce who has made it, then round 2 will begin.


PLEASE *PM* ME WITH YOUR ANSWER! DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER HERE. THANK YOU! Good luck and have fun!

Wow, so many people have entered already. Keep it up!

P.S. Make sure when grading, you take your time. You can always pull up the PCGS Grading Standards! Remember, there's only one right answer!
