Not sure of the grade, it actually sounded like it was being finished up as I was talking to the guy. But there was also another coin that was submitted before the end of the day. Each of us get 2500, and each coin will be labeled 1 of 2. I should have just had it same day shipped, but I was still skeptical that I actually managed to somehow have the coin for the bounty. If I had to guess the coin I submitted wont grade out very high. The strike wasn't great and from what I've heard none of the coins discovered so far have been anything that would be higher than 63 or 64 and that's only if the graders are feeling generous that day.

Congrats on the win Quote: Hopefully you were in one of those categories. Others who are not, and submitted will probably be bitter for a long time. In my opinion, as of late PCGS policies have done more to make people go to NGC than NGC marketing could achieve on their own.
Could not disagree more, their policies and changes have been fantastic to collectors since Brett became the PCGS president. I really don't understand how them requiring someone to be a member to submit for a $5,000 giveaway could be viewed in a negative light on PCGS. NGC also requires you to be a member to submit

Congrats IgnorantVirtuoso, been watching PCGS for the grades of the two winners all day on the population search, but no luck finding it there yet. I'm dying to know how they are grading out. I'm really glad to see it wasn't home shopping network claiming the $5K since probably they would order pallets of quarters from brinks to rip off people with on their shows

Well Ignorent, $2500 for a coin you paid 25C for isn't a bad deal. That's on top of the nutty premium that slab will bring.

Congrats on the find, and the prize! It's awesome that you get $2500 for finding the first (of 2) coins, and that you still get to keep the coin! Way to go! Can't wait to see the picture of the slabbed coin.

Holy Batman! well that was fast. I was thinking this would drag out over a period of weeks but yet, found, graded, and slabbed and it's only Wednesday.
Congrats!
According to some on another forum, the coin hobby is dead -- I guess not.
