- Im new to the group and taking the grading test. I seem to have little issues with US circulated coins. But the coins never ment for circulation with MS 67 68 69 provides little value to me. Why are these coins needing official grading other than $$ ? Talk about "splitting hairs" Im also lacking in grading modern pocket change. HaIm new to the group and taking the grading test.

- It would be extremely helpful if when the user misses by more than 2 grade points that the program generates a message explaining why the guessed grade was wrongIt would be extremely helpful if when the user misses by more than 2 grade points that the program generates a message explaining why the guessed grade was wrong

- DougGprooflikegold agreed that would be useful - however all coins are PCGS graded so MyCollect can't offer any insight as to how/why a coin was graded a particular way.[DougGprooflikegold] agreed that would be useful - however all coins are PCGS graded so MyCollect can't offer any insight as to how/why a coin was graded a particular way.

- Just curious, is there a way that a club could start a group and then have competitions among the group? I'm thinking it might be interesting as a club activity.Just curious, is there a way that a club could start a group and then have competitions among the group?

Great photos for sure and probably the best around if you don't have the real thing but idk if there will ever be a real substitute to viewing the coin in person.That's the big equalizer in this game.

- there's plenty even worse in fs holders, but it seems standards on these alternate between 8 easy years and 8 tight years, so it just depends on when it was graded. I wouldn't crack it out right now. Guess the grade would be a bit easier if we also knew when the coin was graded.there's plenty even worse in fs holders, but it seems standards on these alternate between 8 easy years and 8 tight years, so it just depends on when it was graded.

- Vintagecollection1 count me in too , I can’t grade gold good either ! I tend to under grade it all time due to distraction marks on it … like few of saint gaudens $20 … I’ve seen a few that looked more like AU condition they turned out to be MS63 ![Vintagecollection1] count me in too , I can’t grade gold good either !

- This is a silly game. I do not work for any grading companies so why is there a 45 sec time limit? If you want to help peeps grade coins then an accurate analysis of WHY the coin grades as such would be WAY more helpful. Doesn't accuracy of grading override some mandatory time limit? Most peeps who collect, in my opinion, struggle with grading, including myself. A truly helpful grading tool would be wonderful, but this isn't it. Just my opinionThis is a silly game.

- TacoJohn Unfortunately people cheat and have cheated which is why there's a time limit. We intend to add a practice mode which will allow you to take as long as you like just that it won't be counted toward the leaderboard.[TacoJohn] Unfortunately people cheat and have cheated which is why there's a time limit.

One thing that may have led to this is if proof was selected when you were trying to set the suffix as FB is not an option for proof (only business). I realize you submitted business strike but perhaps you had proof selected prior to submitting.We can't recreate the issue Gumby. i.e. we're able to submit correct guesses for this coin.

- I wonder if coins where a high percent of guessers guess a grade higher than the grade on the slab are ones with a higher probability of upgrading. Not necessarily to upgrade them, but more like for marketing purposes. For example, if you could state in an auction description that the coin scored a higher grade on a certain percent of the time and it could be verified like a cert lookup if the owner wants it to be public knowledge.I wonder if coins where a high percent of guessers guess a grade higher than the grade on the slab are ones with a higher probability of upgrading.

- it presents an opportunity for GreatCollections, they could put the grading distribution from Guess The Grade on the auction page for a coin if it indicates its undergraded, and they could put a link to the coin on Guess The Grade if the coin is up for sale to advertise.it presents an opportunity for GreatCollections, they could put the grading distribution from Guess The Grade on the auction page for a coin if it indicates its undergraded, and they could put a link to the coin on Guess The Grade if the coin is up for sale to advertise.

- 11 seconds gone and one third of the picture shows. I hope the timer doesnt equate to any portion of the scores. I think myvaverage time shoukd be under 10 seconds, but im more than double that.11 seconds gone and one third of the picture shows. I hope the timer doesnt equate to any portion of the scores.

- Does anyone else long for keyboard controls? Here's what I'd love to see:
Step 1:
1 for MS, 2 for PR, (3 for SP)
Step 2: Type the grade, press enter
Step 3: 0 for none, 1 for RD, 2 for RB, 3 for BN, etc.
Press Enter to submit
Press / to undo a step
That way the whole game can be played from the numpad on your keyboard, and have a similar secondary option for keyboards with no numpad like laptops (or just let the user pick their own keys like most games).
I'd also like to suggest having the next coin load in the background so that there's no delay between submitting and grading the next coin, and that would also make the timer fair regardless of internet speed.Does anyone else long for keyboard controls?
