    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. :rolleyes:

    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. ;)

    I said MS64, then MS63 when you said OGH...
    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... :D
    Great contest, and good luck

    Yes, the grade is debatable, but that's what PCGS gave it! :)

    Thanks for the contest. I need to learn the difference between wear and lack of frosting.

    Didn't make it to round 3 - but it's alright. 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!

    I would not dare try this tonight. I will try to remember tomorrow after the anesthetic wears off.

    I did the exact same thing Travis. I blame Ryan's photos not PCGS.;) Either that or I ate some sour grapes.:smile


    I am just glad I didn't have to go to double overtime with the Noost, that contest was brutal.

    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...

    I guesses AU58 at first then he said OGH and I said 55. How is the end of the cap not wear??? Lehigh-Amen to that. My eyes still hurt, LOL
