 Welp , Here it is .. might be fun hopefully ,not frustrating lol. This contest will Be limited to Guesser's From US Only .. *Sorry* .. Its gona be tough BUT THERE IS SILVER INVOLVED HERE GOOD LUCK=---Prizes will be for 1st and 2nd Places . Incase of a TIE I will contact the Persons involved and it will be settled with .. DUN DUN DUN  - A Game of Virtual Rock - Paper - Scissors ..
I will email the tied Guesser's , and ask for a response of their choice of *ROCK _ PAPER _ SCISSOR* From there we will eliminate any ties by process of elimination .. **losers of RO-Sham-Bo will receive a Roll of 2011 Cents for there time and efforts** IF it gets that far that is .... This is First Places PRIZE , I think its worth your time lol , Included is - 1979-Proof set- 1919-S Merc Dime- 1942-P Walking Liberty half dollar *CLEANED looking* And A UNOPENED Roll of Philly Minted 2011 Lincoln Cents . Here is SECOND Places Prize- Included is - 1-1982-S Washington Silver Commem - 1979-S Proof Washington quarter - And A New Roll of 2011 P-Minted Lincoln Cents , not bad for a runner up   OKAY - Heres the idea behind this one .. There is 3 Close-Up Photos of everyday Objects most people use , Along with '1' Close-up photo To an everyday Coin Collector- Do your best to Guess What They Are-- They maybe tough , so I also included GUESS THE GRADE for 3 Coins recently Submitted to PCGS - Which I will have back in 2 weeks or so .. Heres the First Part-
Photo ID - you will Need to Identify the Objects in each for the '4' photos Below- Numbered 1-4 .. Please include the PHOTO Number Before each Guess .. Photo #1= ? Photo #2= ? Photo #3= ? Photo #4= ? - OK , Good luck with that part -
NOW , the Easy stuff lol . GUESS THE GRADE ON THESE THREE Morgan dollars RECENTLY SUBMITTED TO PCGS-- Please Number the COINS BY PHOTO NUMBER OR DATE - ***IF , you know the VAMS .. Shoutem out , if you win and correctly Identify the VAMS along with the Photo ID and Grades you will receive a BONUS Mercury dime dated 1944-S*** PHOTO #5 1889-P Morgan dollar -Grade ?  Photo #6 1884-P Morgan Dollar- Grade?  Photo #7 1882-P Morgan Dollar- Grade?  Alrghty - This Should Make for some interesting Guess's , PLEASE ONLY ONE Attempt PER PLAYER , I will close this down ONCE I receive the coins from PCGS - Roughly Around the 11th of JUNE Maybe sooner depending how quick they come back..
SO Get your GUESS"S in and Best of LUCK .. Any questions please feel free to email me , altho NO HINTS will be givin out for the PHOTO ID challange -  Phil \m/

I think I #2 and #3, the others I am oblivious to though. Do we get to know which one is an item for coin collectors or is that part of the game too?
By the way, cool contest!

This is tough huh ? Sorry Gang ... *maybe a revision in the future if its brutal .. ill see how it goes . Quote:
Do we get to know which one is an item for coin collectors or is that part of the game too? Sure , it would be the Last photo in the Photo ID part .. The other items are things used in everyday living lol .. I see there tough , and that maybe something I will have to tweek .. this being my first attempt at a CHALLENGE I may need to tweek some stuff so its not to tough on everyone . I really appreciate everyones time so far .. Best of luck .. And it should be interesting with the coin grades .. Please do let me know what you think and if I should consider tweeking .. any input welcome .. again I appreciate your time gang . Best of luck - Phil \m/ Edited by tatt2ed13

Alot of good Guessing already , you GUYS ARE GOOD ...
Please keep in MIND -
If your not to good at grading , Take a shot at it .. Atleast try the ID PHOTO Challenge ...
im horrible at it myself , but wanted to add alittle diversity to the challenge ...
If you atleast get the PHOTO id correct you still have a shot at winning this thing if no-one nails the grades ...
But , I have a feeling I know what I will do for my next Challenge ...
For the first one , I just hope anyone and everyone takes a shot ..
And Please , Do let me know if something is Confusing .. or Anything on your mind about this really ..
looking for some feedback so I can keep it in mind for the next contest once I reach 1000 ...
Thanks again gang , Appreciate you all giving it a shot .

Thanks For taking the time to try it out UPSTATE - appreciate it .!! And glad you like the prizes .!! Felt it was right to offer a nice prize to those who tried it out .. Its worth a shot eh? Again I apologize if its ALOT , But I felt it would be a change of pace and with the prizes I had in mind wanted it to be a bit challenging .. I really encourage anyone to give it a try . Even if you dont grade to well like me . you still have a chance if you get the Photo ID correct .. Never know till you try it .!  GOOD LUCK AGAIN , And thanks to those that have gave it a try .. Great Guess's so far .. Phil \m/ |
