Hello cointalk, I have been meaning to post this for a while now, and here it is! It is a 2004 W $10 platinum eagle PF70 ultra cameo NGC. It was an essay contest. Thank you JCB1983 for helping me with the contest!
It was sponsored my modern coin mart, and it was a voting contest. What you had to do to enter was write a very short (1000 character) essay about what you would do if you were director of the mint. I managed to get the second highest amount of votes, so I picked this prize since it has a higher value then the other prize I could have picked. There were 3 prizes- a 2012 early release MS70 $10 gold eagle, my prize, and 2 out of the 5 silver eagles of the 2011 set graded PF70 and MS70. They have contests every once in a while.
I would, but I'm afraid that the link to the contest page (and my essay) does not exist anymore. Unfortunetley, I did not save it on a word document.
Where is your essay posted? I'd like to read a winning essay. Seems it would be very interesting. Or recreate the essay in summary form.
