    I knew that it would be next thing to impossible to get it exactly right, so I put a 100 point system, tpg and mm and coin name were ten points each, the closer the year was the higher the score, the closer the grade was the higher the score, the closer the denomination was the higher the score, the closer the price was the higher the score TMoney and BNB both hit a 56 score, treashunt and dracula370 both hit a 54 I will post a pic of the slab once drac and treas give their tgheir tiebreaker numbers, tho it looks like they are not "on line" right now

    First place is Tmoneyeagles, he can pick two items, between the one ounce 4" giant buffalo proof, the regular size buffalo ounce, the liberty mint ounce, or the flowing hair bullion ounce, a 1935 buffalo nickel that has been holed, a 1905 Barber nickel in ag, a a 1902 barber quarter in ag, or a set of lp-1s p and d mint cents, second place picks two items, third place gets what items the first two did not choose, bnb has second place, and third place is tied between treashunt and dracula370
