    I'll only rank those who played in the last round.

    One player booked the 10 graded mark, so had another of thier lowest scoring grade dropped... Every 11th grade you get to drop your lowest.
    MPCUSA:hail: - drops lowest 2

    After some thought I've decided to group all tpg's in the same ranking to simplify it on my end.. I can offer compiled cumulative ranking's by tpg or scores by tpg upon request.

    Everyone of the regular players overall scores continue to trend down, as well as thier weekly scores.....:thumb: ... (name the movie) <"...they're learning....">

    Rankings (points reflect average points off tpg grades):
    GOLD - MPCUSA - 1.76 (that 2nd dropped grade helped, welcome to the top)
    SILVER - Duke - 1.89
    BRONZE - RLM's - 2.04

    4th - LouieTwoBits - 2.05
    5th - BadThad - 2.67
    6th - Mikenoodle - 2.89
    7th - Coinman - 6.17 (don't be disheartened,, nearly everyone started around this number,, it ain't easy)

    And now....

    Here is the next set: All are NGC graded.

    21- 64 RB - Woodies are hard to grade in hand and can be impossible w/pix
    29- 65 RD
    20-S 64 BN - Nice coin. Rough to find
    15- 63 BN

    1920 S - MS63 BN
    1915 P - MS63 BN what's that odd color on the reverse at 6 o'clock, is it on the holder
    1921 P - MS64 BN because of the fingerprint
    1929 P - MS65 RB I think those scratch's across the "United States" is on the holder

    Round 7 recap:

    NGC grades -
    20S - MS62 BN
    15 - AU58 BN
    21 - MS64 RB
    29 - MS62 RB

    Opinions:
    20S - Nice brown cent. As noted kinda hard to find in good strike and grade.
    15 - Nobody except one noticed the wear above the ear... or is it strike,, haha. When we all start to peg the AU's from MS62's, we'll have arrived. ;) Dirtier looking in the pic than in hand, the light brown spot on the rev at 6o'clock is exaggerated in the pic.
    21 - Very nice in hand,, Woodies are cool,, RB woodies are really cool in hand,, pic doesn't do it justice,,, someone noted the fingerprint on the reverse and the corrresponding downgrade to 64.... outstanding call.
    29 - Much better details than 62,,, I guess NGC will downgrade for spotting, which this coin obviously has a few.

    Awards for this set of cents:
    Best - OUT OF THE BLUE... JustaFarmer, 1 length ahead of the pack - 1.0
    HA - MPCUSA - 2.75 ;)
    Others:
    badthad - 2
    rlm's - 2.5
    louie2bits - 2.25
    duke - 2.25
    shoe - 2.25

    Now on to round 8.. and another four.

    The 20-S is a tough coin, I shouldn't have been so bold. The price jump on these from 63 to 64/65 is GIANT. Your coin is very well struck for the issue and I don't see any signicant hits. I think they were harsh on that coin unless there's more to be seen on the surface.

    The 15 was a ringer! The hair above the ear is also an area of weakness on some strikes. We have to be careful not to mistake it for wear. However, in my lapse that 15's are normally well-struck, I ignored it. LOL

    Fun stuff!

    Yeah, I really like that 20s for the grade and loved it for the price... I think it has upgrade potential. Nothing is hidden in the pics,, it's as you see.

    15 <snerk>,,,,, gotta throw the change up every now and then.
