Thanks again to all parties who submitted coins for the contest. If our advertizing budget was endless, I'd be sending all the coins to PCGS, but unfortunately, I had to narrow it to one. Below are the three finalists:

furryfrog02's 1972 DDO Cent, found while coin roll hunting:

cremebrule's 1909 VDB Cent, clearly a long loved and sentimental coin:

fretboard's 1849 $1 Gold, a coin that really caught our eye and needs to find a holder:

After being up all night thinking about it (well, the day job is really a night job, so I was at work, but I did give it extensive thought), and then discussing it several times with the "boss," the winner of the Early 2014 Cow City Coin Contest is...

CREMEBRULE! This coin was such a great combination of an important coin, coupled with a great story, we felt it was deserving of a new home in a PCGS Secure holder. You clearly have a fond spot in your heart for this coin, and we're honored to help it last to be passed on! Look for a note via PM!

Here is my submission: My 1972P-1DO-001.

I found this last year on 11Apr13. I had only been CRH'ing for about 6 months at that point and was getting pretty frustrated with my lack of finds. I was starting to consider stopping all together. After I pulled this out of a box it reignited my interest and has kept me going since then. I have gotten really interested in varieties/errors since finding this coin. Every time I get into a lull I pull this out and remind myself that there are still super cool things out there to find. I'm not sure of the grade but I am guessing somewhere in the AU53-55 range. I'd love to see what it actually is to see if I've learned anything over the last year...
Also, this was my first 1972 DDO variety that I found in circulation. Not a bad way to start IMO. Thanks for the contest!

That is an awesome find thanks for showing it off. I've wanted to see it ever since I heard about you finding it. I keep telling my nephew and myself there are still some valuable finds out there and this proves it.
