    This is my first GTG. I tried to pick a coin that would challenge even the most legendary of CoinTalk graders(ed wood). Bonus points(1,000,000) if you correctly guess the composition.



    In case of a GTG tie, the winner will be the poster who posts their guess after the grade is revealed. Without further ado, here is the coin and may the best grader win.

    I know nothing about the people on slabs. It was the only 'variety' I could find, so I threw it in there.

    I'm not one to notice special labels with people, but I have seen some sales that surprised me. And that reminds me of another slab that I'll need to post in the following thread (shameless plug :D):

    I wanna go with PF69 Ultra Cam, and Silver. I'm terrible at grading modern proofs though.

    Unbelievable. My internet goes down over the weekend. Monday the tech comes out and replaces some box. Then I have to plan for a blizzard. I wrapped my pipes. We got at least a 1/4" of sleet, ice, snow mix piled up at the front door. Shut the whole city down. After shoveling the ice from the door mat, I am now able to complete this GTG.

    Anyone guessing clad, as if. These things are cheap(relative in graded holder) in silver. Especially when they only grade PF69UCAM. I have bought several around the $13-$15 range. There really is no need to spend extra money on graded PF70 coins. These ultramodern coins are practically indistinguishable in 69 and 70 grades.

    Thanks for the participation.
