    Th epics of the Morgans are still quite small, but I'll go with it. One other thing, it might have better if you had asked for our guesses to be sent to you privately instead of posted here for all to see.

    1882-S - MS64 PL
    1879-S - MS64 PL
    1948 - MS65 FBL
    1913 - PF65 RD
    1954-S/D - MS64
    1939 - MS64 ( there is no mint mark on this coin but you named it as an S )
    1940 - MS65
    1936 - PF64 RB
    1880 - PF63 CAM

    Oh man, didn't think of that. Might have worked out a bit better that way. I'll keep that in mind for future contests. Contest ends in 2 hours guys! No more answers will be accepted after 8 pm eastern time. Hope y'all are having fun.

    Oh and a clue, no one has gotten the 1936 cent right yet. ;) For those that haven't guessed yet.

    Okay everybody, here are the points:

    codydude815: 30 points

    Speedy: 13 points

    mralexanderb: 8 points

    1877: 10 points

    spock1k: 30 points

    DJCoins: 44 points

    GDJMSP: 17 points

    Wow, this took a neat turn. Now the 1936 Proof cent I didn't award anyone points, because some named the correct grade, but I was also looking for a little more than that. My orignal post I said to name what was on the slab also, referring to this. The grade assigned to it was: PR 63 R Brilliant Finish. A bit of a twist there. But no biggie, thought I would clarify why I didn't assign points to that coin. Here are the correct grades to all the coins:

    1. 1882 S Morgan Dollar: MS 62 PL

    2. 1879 S Mrogan Dollar: MS 64

    3. 1948 Fanklin Half: MS 66 FBL

    4. 1913 Lincoln Cent: PR 65 R

    5. 1954 S/D Jefferson Nickel: MS 66

    6. 39 S Walker: MS 66

    7. 1940 Walking Libety Half: MS 67

    8. 1936 Lincoln Cent: PR 63 R Brilliant Finish

    9. 1880 Sheild Nickel: PR 63 Cameo

    If I didn't assign the right points to you please let me know and I will change them. Hope you all enjoyed that round, now the next round prepare yourselves for, it's going to be coin trivia and miscellaneous. ;) Remember, everyone can play if you want too, this contest is open for all. Hope y'all are having fun. :D

    Well that Franklin sure messed me up---
    Being a 1948 you would think it would have a great strike but I see a few "worn" spots and the carbon spot also would have cut it back. IMHO this coin was given a bump because of the toning. There are bagmarks in the main area...on the cheek, near the front of the hair, near the middle of the hair....
    I'm not trying to make up for missing that one :D :D but I think it was overgraded :D :D

    I would think a more accurate assessment would be that some of the members made some very, very lucky guesses :secret:
