<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ryanbrooks, post: 711288, member: 10924&quot;]Heya everyone, and welcome to Round 2 of my contest. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The people who have made it through are the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>mikenoodle</p><p>wiggam007</p><p>illini420</p><p>James1</p><p>almostgem</p><p>weryon</p><p>Treashunt</p><p>north49guy</p><p>batonfire131</p><p>OxJaw</p><p>mystery45</p><p>Duke Kavanaugh</p><p>IntlCoinoisseur</p><p>BigAl</p><p>chip</p><p>Lehigh96</p><p>Buffalo Gal</p><p>mcarney1173</p><p>dracula370</p><p>abe</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, since this was the first round, I went easy on a few of you. There were two main things wrong with the passage:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. There is no such thing a a 1934 Standing Liberty Quarter... it would be called the Washington Quarter since Standing Liberty Quarters were only made &#039;til 1930.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. There is no such thing as a 1943-S RD penny, since they were made of steel. Now some can argue that there have been red 1943 pennies, but none today have been graded by PCGS as MS66. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I did state that I wanted all of them to be graded by PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, so congrats to all of those who have made it to round 2! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Lets get started, shall we? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>REMEMBER, you are looking for statements/facts that are not or cannot be true. You are NOT looking for grammar mistakes.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Round 2&#039;s Passage:</b><i></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I was walking to the bus stop as I do every day from Monday to Friday, to go to school. As I was walking, I saw something glimmer in the distance. I walked up to it and it was a coin! I picked it up and it was a 1798 Draped Bust Large Cent. Boy was this my lucky day! Although it was terribly corroded, I saw it still had a lot of detail remaining so all it needed was a quick clean. So I put it in my pocket and kept it safe until I got home...</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>When I returned home I quickly cleaned it up and started to take pictures to show off to the people of CoinTalk. A few people attributed it for me as a Sheldon 188. Neat-o! I also found out that they had a mintage less than half a million, so there was another thing to be exited about.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>This was my very first coin find and it turned out to be worth hundreds of dollars. I&#039;m glad I go to school... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </i></p><p><i><br /></i> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, ALL answers must be sent through a PM! If anyone posts the answer(s) in the thread, I will close the contest and it will be over. Thank you and good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Round 2 ends Monday, the 19th. This is a quick one, so hurry up! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
