Round 3 Hey everyone, here are all the people who have made it to Round 3: CamaroDMD rlm's cents flyers10 gopher29 Most of you said MS-63, which I really can't understand since it has nice, bold details. The correct answer was MS-65. A beauty, ain't it? It's one of my nicest Morgan's.   06-10-2009, 03:59 PM   #2 (permalink) ryanbrooks US Coin Collector     Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Albuquerque Posts: 2,393 My Mood: Now for Round 3's coin. It's a 1953-D Omaha Bank Hoard Roosevelt Dime graded by PCGS. It's also a coin of mine. Round 3 ends June 13th, Saturday. After that, this round will be closed and no more PM's will be accepted. I will announce who has made it, then round 4 will begin. PLEASE *PM* ME WITH YOUR ANSWER! DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER HERE. THANK YOU! Good luck and have fun!

I thought this was an undergraded example, I thought PCGS graded it a 63, and I would have graded it a 64... Well, I made it through two rounds... Great contest, and good luck __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   06-10-2009, 04:25 PM   #4 (permalink) ryanbrooks US Coin Collector     Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Albuquerque Posts: 2,393 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by tmoneyeagles I said MS64, then MS63 when you said OGH...

Great contest, and good luck Yes, the grade is debatable, but that's what PCGS gave it!   06-11-2009, 01:35 AM   #5 (permalink) Lehigh96 Toning Freak     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: The Poker Room Posts: 3,012 My Mood: Blog Entries: 2 Quote: Originally Posted by tmoneyeagles I said MS64, then MS63 when you said OGH...

Great contest, and good luck I did the exact same thing Travis. I blame Ryan's photos not PCGS. Either that or I ate some sour grapes. I am just glad I didn't have to go to double overtime with the Noost, that contest was brutal.   06-11-2009, 01:47 AM   #6 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Lehigh96 I did the exact same thing Travis.

Oh sweet, glad to know we did the same! Ryan's photos were good, but I never had a thought in my mind of 65... __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   06-10-2009, 04:32 PM   #7 (permalink) TheNoost huldufolk     Join Date: May 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 4,281 My Mood: Thanks for the contest.

I'm glad I made it to round 2! I, somewhat like T$, guessed MS64PL and then bumped it down to MS63 when I found out it was OGH. Thanks again for the contest and good luck to the people who made it to round 3! __________________ When I was a little boy my mother always told me that I was her million bucks; I always told her I'd rather be her 1913 V nickel.
