10,000th POST GIVEAWAY CONTEST - WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

[cpm9ball]

That's an awesome picture Chris!

 

Gary Bendler, the artist, gave this print to my Mom when they met one night at our pool league. I was under the mistaken impression that the subject was Chief Joseph, but I subsequently received an e-mail from Gary advising me that it is Chief Many Coats.

 

Chris

 

"Chief Many Coats", and yet he's shirtless...interesting!

 

He just got out of the shower, Tubby!

Ok another guess, how about an 1882 (some mintmark or no mintmark or some mintmark over another mintmark) BU Morgan dollar VAM something or other...

 

...something, something, something dark side...something, something, something complete...

 

Why don't you ask Leroy if he's ever written a description like that?

Crapo! This thing is still going on?!? How about a half roll of beat up 1882 morgans with any trace of mintmark worn off?

[cpm9ball]

Just over 4 hours left to get entries posted. The winner will be announced tomorrow at Noon.

Dang I'll have to set my alarm clock too.

[coinman_23885]

Just a curiosity (and I don't want to count this as a question), do you have any registry sets?

 

Edited to add: Since you have already said that the coin is not certified, it wouldn't be dispositive of this contest.

 

It can't count as a question, anyway, because you have already used all five.

 

No, I don't have any Registry Sets. If you want to ask me why, it won't violate the rules of the contest because it would have nothing to do with it.

 

Chris

 

Why?

[cpm9ball]

No, I don't have any Registry Sets. If you want to ask me why, it won't violate the rules of the contest because it would have nothing to do with it.

 

Chris

 

Why?

 

I don't participate in the Registry because the completed sets I have are uncertified. I am working on a certified set of 2000-2008 Sacagawea Business Strikes in MS68, but I might not even enter those because I am such a lousy photographer.

There was only one person who picked up on this clue from a thread I started about some Morgan purchases I made at a local coin club show.

 

'82-CC NGC MS63

Now, I would imagine that someone is going to call me crazy because I recently bought a 19-coin roll of '82-CC. Why in the heck does he need another one? Four of those were sent to Leroy Van Allen for attribution, and they came back as VAM-3B.

 

[font:Comic Sans MS] CONGRATULATIONS, Bobby, bsshog40! [/font]

 

Please send me a PM with your address so I can send it to you.

 

Chris

 

By the way, it is a moot point, but the correct answer to the tiebreaker is $21,474,836.47. Only one person missed it because he forgot to add all of the daily payments together.

Is the silver coin certified?

OP

The answer to the fourth question: No!

Congrats Bobby.... but Chris, you do realize that you answered this question to the contrary of the winning guess?

[jtryka]

Congrats to Bobby! Well deserved!

I told myself that I wouldn't forget to add them up, and I forgot anyway.

 

Congratulations Bobby for winning and the great reconnaissance work; last, but not least, thanks Chris for the fun competition.

No, I didn't. I have four of the 1882-CC VAM-3B that are raw. They came from the 19-coin roll that I mentioned. The certified one in the photo of that thread is not the one I was giving away. Read the caption again!

[Old Pueblo]

Congrats Bobby!

 

Can't wait to see the Morgan
