Oh man, didn't think of that. Might have worked out a bit better that way. I'll keep that in mind for future contests. Contest ends in 2 hours guys! No more answers will be accepted after 8 pm eastern time. Hope y'all are having fun.

Oh and a clue, no one has gotten the 1936 cent right yet. For those that haven't guessed yet.

Phoenix

 

Okay, going to go over the answers and award points to everyone.

Phoenix

 

Okay everybody, here are the points:

codydude815: 30 points

Speedy: 13 points

mralexanderb: 8 points

1877: 10 points

spock1k: 30 points

DJCoins: 44 points

GDJMSP: 17 points

Wow, this took a neat turn. Now the 1936 Proof cent I didn't award anyone points, because some named the correct grade, but I was also looking for a little more than that. My orignal post I said to name what was on the slab also, referring to this. The grade assigned to it was: PR 63 R Brilliant Finish. A bit of a twist there. But no biggie, thought I would clarify why I didn't assign points to that coin. Here are the correct grades to all the coins:

1. 1882 S Morgan Dollar: MS 62 PL

2. 1879 S Mrogan Dollar: MS 64

3. 1948 Fanklin Half: MS 66 FBL

4. 1913 Lincoln Cent: PR 65 R

5. 1954 S/D Jefferson Nickel: MS 66

6. 39 S Walker: MS 66

7. 1940 Walking Libety Half: MS 67

8. 1936 Lincoln Cent: PR 63 R Brilliant Finish

9. 1880 Sheild Nickel: PR 63 Cameo

If I didn't assign the right points to you please let me know and I will change them. Hope you all enjoyed that round, now the next round prepare yourselves for, it's going to be coin trivia and miscellaneous. Remember, everyone can play if you want too, this contest is open for all. Hope y'all are having fun.

looks like i have beamed into second place brother phoenix what were the prizes again?

 

Well that Franklin sure messed me up---
Being a 1948 you would think it would have a great strike but I see a few "worn" spots and the carbon spot also would have cut it back. IMHO this coin was given a bump because of the toning. There are bagmarks in the main area...on the cheek, near the front of the hair, near the middle of the hair....
I'm not trying to make up for missing that one but I think it was overgraded

Speedy

 

Messed me up too... I was deciding between 64 and 65. Didn't think it'd go that high.

 

WOOOO! Tied for 2nd!

 

no no you have it all wrong we may have the sma enumbe rof points but since i answered before you did i am techinically second (just pulling your leg)
