JCUVE 8000th post contest

[jcuve]

So my fellow LCRers, I have reached 8000 posts, and as in the past, here it is:
The 8000th post contest spectacular!

Guess the grades of the following two slabbed coins - add the cumulative number and post it - closest to the correct number, without going over, wins - each number can only be used once. E.g., if you think the two grades are MS60 & VF20, then the guess is 80 (60 + 20).

Winner receives an AU '98 WAM and a BU 2006 1DO-016 (this is a DDO that also has trails 1DEO-008T).

Coins were shot through the slabs, there are no major problems or detail grades.

Coin one: 1943-S, ANACS slab:

Coin 2: 1947, PCGS slab:

[Amadauss]

CONGRATS Jason. I'll guess 121

Sorry Rock but I think according to the rules each number can only be used once which I think means once a number is used cannot be used again, correct Jason.

Looks like we're running out of conceivable numbers to guess...

AND

THE

WINNER

IS...

Wapa with the first guess of 119 :eclipsee_gold_cup:

And Chris and Mark were correct with the attribution: 1947 DDO-001 and 1943S DDO-001...

1943S DDO-001 is MS64 in a ANACS holder
The 1947 DDO-001 is AU55 in a PCGS holder.

Remember these are photos of coins in holders and would look different in person.

Thanks to everyone who participated! :occasion16:

Wapa PM me your address...

[atarian]

Kinda stunned on the grade on the 1947, but congrats WAPA!

[Coppertop]

:occasion16::occasion16::occasion16:
Cheers and thx for your dedication to the community sir

[pman860507]

Congrats Wapa, Great contest jcuve.

[papascoins]

I thought that about the 47, but I figured PCGS would've only given him a 50. And I thought the 43 was a 65.
Oh well, that was fun! Lots of great participation too!
Congrats to the winners!

[Maineman750]

Thanks for the contest Jason !

[wapa]

Thanks for the contest Jason. What a kick! :angel:

[tone541]

I'M WITH YOU. I THINK I GAVE THE ( 47 ) A VF-35, IF IT WAS SLABBED AS AU-55 THEN I MUST HAVE SOME HELLAVA COLLECTION.
TONY :tinysmile_hmm_t2:

[liveandievarieties]

Or perhaps you just need to familiarize yourself with modern grading standards. :squigglemouth:

[coinman2009]

Well I had the steel at a 64, and was guessing au53 on the 47. Not too shabby on the quessing, Great Contest. Thanks!:)
