    I tell you what, IGrade got himself a nice coin. Unless in hand you can see something going on with the luster, (meaning the coin was cleaned and retoned), I don't see what is wrong that coin at all. I think TPG are really jumpy over colors nowadays.

    That is an extremely generous prize Winged, all of them were, and everyone on the board regardless of whether we entered or not really appreciates the contest. I think IGrade will keep that coin forever, I know I would have if I won it when I was young.

    Just fantastic!

    Tracking Numbers PM'd to Alex, Zach, and iGrade

    On Ozleck's package to the Phillipines, I couldnt use the regular USPS tracking. Apparently the only way to ship overseas with tracking is Registered Mail which is very slow and expensive. The postmaster told me he's never heard of any problems shipping regular air mail to the Phllipinnes so I gave it a go. I did have to fill out a Customs form though. I had no idea of all the red tape with overseas shipping. Learn something new every day!

    Thanks for playing!

    Congrats on winning the raffle, Alex491! :)

    Also, the reason I am here, first I'd like to say this is iGradeMS70 on a different account created for those I would like to apologize because I, myself, even made a seperate account (LBWNorth77) in order to receive an extra "like" for WingedLiberty's initial contest, all after accusing those who had done the same. After seeing that everyone else had created a phoney account... I figured I'd just go with the crowd, ya know? Well, I realized this was a mistake that would cost me my access to the 'iGradeMS70' account... It's obvious that I couldn't pull the wool over the Moderator's eyes. Though this did not in any affect the vote count (WingedLiberty had already discounted the vote due to suspicion of LBWNorth777 being nothing but an iGradeMS70 alias), I feel I should apologize for my foolish actions. I have truly learned my lesson... Unfortunately, I had to learn it the hard way. :eek:

    Thanks for Understanding & God Bless,
    -Brian

    PS- WingedLiberty, check your P.M.'s

    So, are there any changes in the placing? Is'nt Ozleck the rightful winner, WL?

    Just Wondering....

    Hey Alex, I already discounted the vote for iGrade due to the bogus LBWNorth777 account. With that vote adjustment iGrade fell into a tie with Oz (using the counts at the second the voting ended -- I think the counts are different now tho but those late votes dont count) however since iGrade posted first, he won the tiebreaker. I did send a slabbed MS64 1897 Morgan Silver Dollar to Oz as a consolation prize. I upped the prizes from 1 to 4 due to all the extenuating circumstances in an attempt to be fair to everyone.

    I really am pleased to win this coin. This will be my first slabbed coin. I personally think WingedLiberty is fair to everyone.



    The only problem is the coin's arrival. 'cant help being paranoid. What if the item got lost, misplaced, how long will it arrive??,,, etc..etc...The excitement is killing me....
