    And it will be a Guess what the TPG's assigned the grade to this coin contest! Or Guess the grade for short. The contest will end on the 9th,(a week from now). The prize is a 1967 SMS quarter! Not much, but it is free! Everyone is welcome to participate. Now on with the contest.
    Here is the coin that you need to decipher the grade that the TPG graded it. You will need to guess the grade and the TPG that graded it. Sound simple? One guess per person please.And if no one guess' the correct grade by the end of the contest, the closest one will win. Here is the coin:

    Thats definately PCGS, and its obviously MS63 but I smell a rat. Did they overgrade it.....or undergrade it???? Are you being tricky? I'll say PCGS went a little too tough on it. MS62

    Well, clearly if we all worked at the same grading company we would go out of buisness.

    The big spoiler!!! It is a Carson City. And what do TPG's tend to do on Key date coins? Someone has already guessed the right grade. And yes I'm being tricky. :cool: I wanted to add a twist to this. The contest will end tommorrow since somone alredy guessed it. Why tomorrow and not tonight you may ask? I love the smell of suspense in the air. Oh yea. Think of everything you know about grading. Eher is a new twist. Everyone can change their guess if they would like. But if you do, you cancel out your first guess, and you might have been the one. Thanks all who participated. Another contest will be after this.

    The morgan is an 1880-cc. You can tell from the notch under the second 8 (and since it has already been mentioned ). I personally would grade the morgan a 63, but since it is a cc, it is more than likely graded a 64.
