Everyone got to look at the actual coins in hand. Everyone had a 10-minute slot in which to grade the 15 coins. You had to either make an...
Yes. I used either no magnification or pulled out my 10x loupe when I wanted to see something specific (e.g., inspect the added mint mark).
Nice coin! Not a 67, but it is a nice coin.
I tied for first.
NGC posted an article with photos of their grading contest coins. If you want to try and grade them from the pictures, scroll through the article...
Indeed, and not just a $275,000 difference. The Indian needs a close look and an acetone treatment, but it is possible that those colors can...

I can't remember the last time I ordered something strictly for myself -- probably at least 10 years ago. I've bought stuff recently to flip when...
In other words, the hit that mint buyers take when they sell just got bigger.

There were none made dated 1937, and the earliest George VI coinage is dated 1938. It could be that there were no dies ready for India with George...
This is probably info you already have, and it doesn't break down 1936 by dot vs. no dot....
I was searching for something like this, and stumbled across a seemingly orphaned image archive on coins.nd.edu before coming up with anything...
