Let's play a game...

The game is simple. You have to figure what I just sent to NGC (there was only one.)

The good news? It's really cool. I've never seen one before. And I got it for free this weekend.

Rules:

Everyone gets one Yes or No question. When we reach 20 questions, you may ask a second question (when we get to 20 more, you can have a third question and so on...) I will do MY BEST to keep the thread updated with everyone's questions and my answers.

First one to accurately guess what I just sent to NGC will get a free slabbed coin of my choosing. Everyone gets ONE guess ONLY.

EDIT (for clarification): While each member only gets one guess, you may still continue to play by asking questions as normal.

If you think this will be fun, play.

If you don't, don't play.

I will start off by saying I learned something I never knew before when I figured out what this was...and that at least one has been sold online before, so it's not unique.
