    OK, So I have not done a contest before but I feel like doing something for this forum since I get so much from it-

    The contest is going to be pretty simple -

    Guess the coin ,variety/subtype & the grade it is.(FSB,FBL,RD,RB,BN,T1,T2,FH,DCAM,CAM,CROSSLET,O-???,Browning...,Judd-..,FS,Sheldon,.ect) & you win it.
    Heck,It may not even have a variety or subtype.

    Easy enough right ? :rolleyes:

    The coin has just been certified by PCGS - 4/1/08

    More than (2) that were certified by PCGS have sold for over $200 on Ebay in the past 3 weeks-

    The contest will close in 2 weeks (4/19/08) or if someone guesses correctly before that time ,the contest will be over-

    So what is YOUR guess ?

    If no one guesses 100% correctly- the person I deem closest to the actual coin in question will get a raw version of the same coin from the same collection that the coin in question came from. (It will still have a retail value of about $20-$50 depending on what it would truly grade as ,or from past experiance of what raw versions I have had sold for).
    Plus an additional bonus:kewl:

    Thanks to all who play & Thanks to this forum -

    So give a guess or 2 or 3 -
    (3) is the limit Im putting on the contest-

    BE SPECIFIC & GOOD LUCK !!:cool:

    Only 1 clue (for now)- IT IS PRE 1923-

    I'll take the step forward and make the first guess. ;)

    Is it a 1909-VDB MS65RD Lincoln Cent? If so, I lost mine last year and need another (though it was a far cry from MS65RD)! :D
