About Me
I've been collecting coins since 1970. My passion is collecting liberty seated quarters. I have a complete 108 coin set, 107
of which are CAC approved. There are still 10 or 11 coins in my set I'd like to upgrade.

- crepidodera the one thing that shocked me is both times I was given a ms61 Morgan today I immediately thought yep that looks like a 61 and got green for both of them! A few months ago a 61 and a 3 looked more similar to me[crepidodera] the one thing that shocked me is both times I was given a ms61 Morgan today I immediately thought yep that looks like a 61 and got green for both of them!

- Zach150 It takes many repetitions to tell the grades apart consistently. And even then, you have the human factor, grades are not always consistently applied.[Zach150] It takes many repetitions to tell the grades apart consistently.

- I agree richardo, it doesn't always work. I use that strategy because if, for example, I grade without the + for two coins and nail one for 20 points and miss the second coin by one grade for 12 points - I total 32 points. But, if I had used the + strategy, I quite often get 18 points for both coins - total 36 points. Don't get me wrong, I quite often grade morgan dollars MS64.

- On mint state coins choose two grades and use the + between the two. So, if you think a coin is either MS63 or MS64, you guess 63+. Practice often, try to become familiar with the look of each coin type in various grades, the "gestalt" of the coin. Good luck!On mint state coins choose two grades and use the + between the two.

- crepidodera I’ve found that sometimes this doesn’t work. Great strategy for some easier coin types(eg average 63-64 morgan dollars, Franklin halves, etc), but for weird stuff like old proofs, some bust stuff, or toners, doing away with the + designation can help you get more points.
For example, going 65 on a coin guarantees decent value(in the blue) between 64 and 66, while going 65+ only guarantees decent value between 65 and 66. It gives a bit more wiggle room if you’re really stumped.[crepidodera] I’ve found that sometimes this doesn’t work.

- crepidodera thanks for the advice it was helpful! I’ve also found grading less coins in one sitting is better for my accuracy as if I grade much more than 50 in a row my accuracy seems to drop off, I just reset statistics graded 38 coins and an over 60% accuracy,[crepidodera] thanks for the advice it was helpful!

- Zach150 Keep an eye out for any patterns/“metas” that you see. For example:
Toned silver eagles usually get either 67 or 68
Red brown 2 cent pieces usually get 64 or 65
Don’t rely on these too much(use your judgement as the final call) but they can help you go fast/could be good fallback options when you really don’t know.[Zach150] Keep an eye out for any patterns/“metas” that you see.

- Zach150 Another one is that vividly toned franklins tend to go 65 to 66. Often 66 unless there are visible distractions. Just like Richardo said, use your judgement, but I hope that helps.[Zach150] Another one is that vividly toned franklins tend to go 65 to 66. Often 66 unless there are visible distractions.

- Samthecoinman I have noticed the franklins that appear shinier in the images tend to be the lower grade ones 63-64+ and the 66 coins tend to look more muted on the pictures[Samthecoinman] I have noticed the franklins that appear shinier in the images tend to be the lower grade ones 63-64+ and the 66 coins tend to look more muted on the pictures

- To make it more fair you can also add a larger bonus to people who grade more coins. It’s a bit annoying when you have 2000+ coins graded and someone overtakes you solely because they got lucky on their 50 guessesTo make it more fair you can also add a larger bonus to people who grade more coins.

- The way the rankings are structured, there's no incentive for anyone to ever grade more than 50 coins. And if they don't like their score after 50 coins, they can reset and try again.

Or you should have to just grade more coins, like maybe 500 or something.I agree, I feel like there should be a limit to how many times you can reset.

- As many times as you want. Keep in mind all guesses for a player are retained and you can only ever grade a coin once (regardless of mode or stats resets).As many times as you want.
