    Alrighty, I think I would rather guess and have the possibility of getting it right, rather than counting this against me, and having to get the next one right for sure!
    My guess will be MS63 RB

    So, there as been a little confusion about what the "double elimination" aspect of this contest actually means. It is inadvisable to skip round 2 if you got round 1 correct. All I mean by "double elimination" is you can get one incorrect along the way and still remain active in the contest. You will earn a "strike" for each incorrect answer (or for a skipped round)...once you have 2 "strikes" you are eliminated from the contest. So, skipping a round is the same as guessing a grade wrong.

    This is why a new participant starting the contest in this round will automatically have a "strike." They skipped the first round. They will have to get every answer from here on out correct to win...there is no margin for error. This is also why this will be the last round where new people can join.

    Not much time left for those who want to get their choices in. Remember, this is the last round that a new participant may join!

    This round ends at 5:00pm PST tonight, I can't disclose the grade before that. Sorry. ;)

    However, the next rounds will be shorter as there will be a limited number of people participating.

    It did, I just wasn't home until really late last night so I didn't log on. So, the round officially ended last night at 5:00pm PST. So, the coin graded....

    MS65RD
