- keyman64Accuracy first and then the number of coins comes second as a weighting factor. Between two people, someone that is a little under on accuracy will be favored if they have graded a lot more coins than the other person. It favors the person that has tested their skill on more coins.Accuracy first and then the number of coins comes second as a weighting factor.

- keyman64njb Ahh, that's a little odd to me. Maybe there is a behind the scenes weight for how many coins it takes a person to reach a certain number of points?...and at stages it could work against you? Grasping at straws here.

- nicks.coinsBigNubNumismatics I have a feeling that more recent guesses hold more weight in the leaderboard ranking. I noticed when I dropped ranking and then slowly worked my way back up, I ended up passing people who had more coins graded and a higher accuracy. Just a theory though.[BigNubNumismatics] I have a feeling that more recent guesses hold more weight in the leaderboard ranking.

- Some things I have noticed:
1. SMS coins count you off for not putting “SP” even though that is not an option
2. Philippine copper coins count you off for not having a color designation even though that is not an option
3. Modern Proof copper coins is inconsistent as to whether to put the color designation or DCAMSome things I have noticed: 1.

- Pretty hard to get non-ASE PCI Toners to straight grade, but I’m optimistic about this one. Lord knows there are much worse ones in holders, lol.

- This is the nicest coin I’ve ever had the pleasure of handling .
1864 Proof Seated Dollar
PCGS PR-65 CAC
Toning is darker in person, but the coin is a monster in hand. Awesome civil war date, awesome coin.

- You wouldn’t think there were many of these originally graded at early NGC, but during the Fatty era, NGC graded over 20 of these in MS-67.
Despite this, I have not seen many of these on the market, nor have I seen one with this nice of toning.
Luster really goes hard.

- NGC White Label
One of the most terrific toners in a white label. Golden Brown crust gives way to strong violets, pinks, and greens.
Really wish CAC did Roosevelts so I could could get a nice gold bean on this one.NGC White Label One of the most terrific toners in a white label.

- *bonk* Who likes giant copper coins?
This is a 2 Daler Swedish Copper Plate minted under King Frederick I in 1742.
This massive coin weighs almost 4 lbs and measures 7 x 6.5 inches!
Was really neat to have this coin while it lasted.
