Great idea. We'll get this added to list to do. JasonNicholls

a competition with some cashes prizes would bring a lot of new users to the site if it advertised with the big coin influencers and print publications

yeah its super lame that like half of the leaderboard clearly reset their stats and then stopped playing once they got a top spot on the board

Really looking forward to the iOS / Android apps coming out for MyCollect and this place exploding with activity.

Nice! I’m looking forward to seeing what additional gamification elements you are adding.

You are probably thinking about this already, but I’d love to be able to filter by series, especially in practice mode.

Be sure to tell others that would benefit from it!

A lot of people find the lower grades - like VF-20 vs. VF-25 more difficult than the MS-63/MS-64 grades.

Do you think it'll ever be a setting for only grading non-MS coins/circulated coins? Learning how to differ circulated grades can often be just as difficult, if not more. And it is an important skill for a good coin grader.

An example of market grading...

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. Ha

Suggest you not show coins with toning - it is too hard to assess marks and luster

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 wrong

Possibly picture taken of it through the slab … got some scuffing on slab makes it look AU grade

That's the big equalizer in this game. We are all judging by the picture rather than the coin in hand. 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.

What does that make the total now?

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.

Some of the grades of coins in the GTG have my head spinning.

I know the FS standard is different for the 1938 nickels, but how is this 38 D a FS designated coin?

I gotta say, this is certainly more more brown than that 1906 and it got a RB

Remember grading is subjective … like some of coins especially the Morgan few of them look to me MS63 come up wrong actually graded AU53 ! I didn’t see any high mark rubbing hard to detect looking at flat picture of coin laying flat with light on it

MS62 RB ?

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 opinion

I did confirm this coin is a BN just in case we made an error.

We can't recreate the issue Gumby. i.e. we're able to submit correct guesses for this coin. 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're looking into this - Jack or Todd will post back here about it.

Timed out at least a dozen times… photos sometimes take longer or do not show at all…still having fun and doing great
