ANNOUNCEMENT - We have made adjustments to Competition Mode in response to feedback and observed behavior of some players:

* Competition stats resets are limited to once every 7 days. Practice and Education Modes can still be reset at any time.

* The minimum graded coins for competition ranking has been increased to 150.

* If you are below the minimum graded coin requirement we now display a Virtual Rank as an indicator of where you would place once eligible (and you retain the same accuracy).

The How to Play page has been updated with these new changes.

PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT: we'll be introducing a guess timer this week. Game play is essentially the same other than you need to "start" grading which will show a coin with a timer that counts down. You must submit a guess before the timer runs out otherwise you will be awarded zero points. Of course once this is live we'd love your feedback but we also wanted to give some notice beforehand. With this change we will also be adding your average grading time to the stats as has been requested by some members.

I suggest you get a HD digital microscope. They range anywhere between $25-$100. They are great for getting a good image for websites. The standard loop is great for when you are one the go.

I think my loupe is a 20x or 30x. Best thing I bought for myself was a magnifying lamp 15x with 5 different LED light colors and intensities.

Heck, I have complete sets I didn't even know I was working on. But when you COMPLETE a set, then naturally every subset also gets completed.

JasonNicholls ToddPollock you guys rock. — another question slash idea —- where it says last updated doesn’t seem to ever change. Are there plans in the future possibly for some thing that says when the last coin was added * that seems to be in a private maybe that could be for public not trying to add more work to your guises plate. Have a blessed day.

  Absurdum58 on inventory you can add arbitrary tags to coins and display that as a column to sort/search by. If we add something like that for sets I think it'll cover what you need (and other use cases)?

  JasonNicholls ok 🏼

  Absurdum58 ok it's done. This was simple for us to handle as it's essentially the same as for coins. When editing a set you can add/remove tags. In the set listing you can display the tags column to see them and also click to search by tag.

I'm just curious, why would time help people become better graders? I'm the type of person who likes to take their time and be accurate. Just my thoughts.

  Koreo We are looking to add another option for those just looking to work on their grading and not as concerned about the scoring and ranking.

Does the timer affect the scoring/rank and if so by how much or what are the details? Ie if accuracy only drops slightly for going fast as possible, will the scoring gain (if there is one) be worth it?

  Gumby Oh that's an interesting case, but no it won't stop. The timer is managed on the server side otherwise it could be manipulated by clients (i.e. cheating).

  JasonNicholls i dint know how much time there will be, but this may impact my GTG play greatly. Also how about when it goes to the next coin but i stop playing? Example the coin i can see right now was the coin i stopped playing at last night.

  Gumby the timer is per coin, on the result screen you can either continue to the next coin or stop playing.
