  1. I have listed 8 coins that are real graded coins that are now or were on the market. I want you to answer this based on your prior knowledge - no peeking :) on the web! I will reveal their prices 3 days from now. Have fun making up your mind!
    You can also throw out some guesses as to the value of some of the coins if you wish.

    Of course there are a lot a variables as far as eye appeal and such, but someone said the word "free" so I can't really make a bad choice, right?

    I'd pick the 1897-O Barber Quarter. Key dates are expensive, but not what I would consider rare. I can pretty much guarantee that you'll see more mint state 1909-S VDB's at any given coin show than mint state 1897 Barber Quarters.

    As far as most expensive, I'd guess the 1893-S Morgan Dollar.

    @ElishaCollectsForever I call foul. You changed the rules of the game from the title of your thread to your first post.

    The title says pick any of the coins for free.
    Your post eludes to us picking the one with the highest market value.

    I selected a coin that I wanted, not based on highest value. So which is it? I answered the poll before reading your post.

    Your penalty, 5 yards for an offside infraction. ;)
