2,000 Posts ~ Contest

Ok, I just recently hit 2,000 posts and I haven't held a contest yet, so here we go. :kewl:

There will be 3 rounds of "guess the grade". Morgans for the first round, Washington quarters in the second round, and buffalo nickels in the third. Here's how the scoring works: Each correct grade guess is worth 10 points. If you guess within 1 point either way of the correct grade you get 5 points. The person with the most points at the end of all 3 rounds wins a prize...a 1965 SMS set. Each round will last 3 days...so at 4 pm CST on Thursday this round will be closed. Good luck!

NOTE: This applies to the morgan round only but if you guess the designation wrong (i.e. PL or DMPL) but get the numeric grade right you get 5 points. If you guess the designation wrong but are within 1 point of the numeric grade you get 1 point.

Here's the rules: You must post your grade guess for all 5 of the coins at the same time (so I don't have to weed through multiple posts to find them all); you may only guess once per coin; and no editing your posts. Have fun!

I don't think they put "wow !" on the holder for #3, but I would have - right after the "star" designation

DJ - nice you're doing this. I'll do something similar when I hit 2000. Can't participate since a Morgan $ is about a foreign to me as st. guildens.

Good luck to everyone and once again - thanks DJ for the contest.

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone and good luck to all in the contest.

I'm just guessing for the fun of it---I don't want any points so you can either give the YN's that are guessing my points (a few to each) or you can just junk mine
