    Thanks for the contest! I knew the grading part would kill me. I had 19.5 pts and I only got 0.5 pts on all 10 grading questions. I also only got 1 of the problem coins. #27 sure looked like it was in a bezel at one time or another. I don't care if I won or not. This was one of the most entertaining contests I have done! Thanks again and CONGRATS to the winners!

    Yea, that's why I said "4th place" instead of "Wiggam007" :so-sad:I'm sorry it worked out that way. You guys must've thought I had a hoard of silver as everyone was guessing in the 30s on the low end and up to 100-200 on the high end ... well the real high end was SilverevliS who guessed 5002 Morgans and 2005 Peace Dollars, but did manage 2.5 pts and 3 entries into the random draw.

    When I'm on later or tomorrow I'll share some more of the ridiculous answers from SilverevliS. Also, there were 7 people within a point of one another at the top and 10 people within 2 points. That was pretty impressive. Anybody that wants the master file I used to score everything and keep track of the contest I can email it to them; it's a Word 2007 document.

    Wow, I don't know what I was seeing on #18, but other than that I guess I did pretty well :)
    Thanks for the contest.

    I got all the addresses now, so if my PO is open tomorrow, which I'm pretty sure they are I'll send all the prizes out then, if not Monday. I will PM you winners your tracking/delivery confirmation numbers as soon as I get them sent. Thanks for making this a great first contest for me!

    Ok last update, unless they are from the winners wanting to post pictures of their prizes ;) ... I got the packages out right at 9am. I couldn't get to the PO before they closed this weekend but I don't think it'll make that big of a difference. All packages should be there by Thursday according to tracking. Winners check your inbox for your tracking numbers. Hope you enjoy your prizes!! :hail:

    Sorry for the delay. Here are some pics of the 1973 P&D Eisenhower $'s I received. I didn't want to take them out of the flips so these are the best I could do.
    Thanks again!

    Those pics are so much superior to anything I could've done, especially through a 2x2. I kinda hoped more of the winners would've posted their prizes :so-sad:

    Wow, I didn't realize the nickel was scratched like that ... I basically wanted to make an every decade type set, so that's what you got .... it had a bit more value when I created the contest, nonetheless, i hope you like it!
