LCR Giveaway Contest #3

[Brad]

This "Give-Away" will be for a 1963 D DDO 1 "3/3" in MS64RD condition.

Here is the contest: I have just sent 6 coins to PCGS. They are pictured below. The individual who can predict the sum of the coins grades will win. They are a 1943 D/D rpm 1, 1936 DDO 1 , 1917 DDO 1, 1971 DDO 1, 1944 D/S omm1 and 1960 D/D ddo 1. They are crossovers from ANACS slabs. They should be problem free.

Here is what you need to do. Add all the grades together, and give me that total. Example VG8 + F12 + AU53+ MS69 + AG3 = 145.

To make things interesting, we will be using "the Price is Right" rules. You cannot go over. The closest one without going over will win.

You have until I get the coins back from PCGS which should take 4 weeks.
You can only submit one guess, and that guess cannot be changed. You cannot guess a value that has already been used.

[fugnchill]

If the reverses are not being considered then I'll go with a total of 230.

Good Luck with your cross-overs and thanks for the chance,
Lestrrr

[brwnprkns]

Congratulations JonMN34
Good Job

[fugnchill]

Congrats Jon and thanks again Brad.
I was way off, I got two right, one over and the rest under and I felt pretty good about my grades but the bright side is that I guess I won't over pay for a coin if I'm grading it.

Lestrrr

[JonMN34]

Wow, thanks again for the contest! :) Really cool that they all crossed over exactly, minus the D/S (not too often you see a 35 though)
Great coins too!

[kloccwork419]

Great guess Jon. Im very surprised on the grade from crossing over. Usually PCGS grade the majority lower then what other would grade them. Looks like ANACS isnt far from PCGS

[JeanK]

Congratulations Jon!
Jean

[uglycent]

I put in my cents worth at 245, but I am a sucker for good looking lincolns.

[lcaryy65]

[BadThad]
