- ToddPollock I think it would be super cool to have competitive classes for people’s specialties, we already have the education mode where you can set it for a certain coin type I think it would be super cool to have a top prize for grading of series, example morgan dollars or seated quarters, obviously the silver eagle prize that has been the standard wouldn’t be practical for more series but I think it would be fun to have more categories even if the prize is just a paper certificate (maybe just the more popular series like Lincoln cents Morgan’s cause with those the issue of not enough coins per category likley wouldn’t be an issue)[ToddPollock] I think it would be super cool to have competitive classes for people’s specialties, we already have the education mode where you can set it for a certain coin type I think it would be super cool to have a top prize for grading of series, example morgan dollars or seated quarters, obviously the silver eagle prize that has been the standard wouldn’t be practical for more series but I think it would be fun to have more categories even if the prize is just a paper certificate (maybe just the more popular series like Lincoln cents Morgan’s cause with those the issue of not enough coins per category likley wouldn’t be an issue)

- 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.

- 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.

- I am not sure that the coin is necessarily worn, but what one might think is wear on the hair appears to be friction to me. I think that the coin is likely mint state, however, it has been improperly stored and treated and one could argue that the coin should details grade. It was likely rubbed against other coins as you can see on high points. If Ms59 were a grade, this coin would be a great example.I am not sure that the coin is necessarily worn, but what one might think is wear on the hair appears to be friction to me.

- This coin surprised me too. In retrospect it looks more ms66 than ms65, but it definitely doesn't look 67+ to me and it looks very DMPL, not PL.

6 Comments 0 Shares 13978 ViewsCommenting is disabled.- I'm at 66PL on that one. Unless the photo happened to bring out the worst in that coin, the face has too much stuff on it for 67. Maybe it was bumped a bit for being just shy of DMPL, but all the way to 67+ doesn't make sense to me.I'm at 66PL on that one.

- PL/DMPL are hard via image sand just in general. Since every tick and mark gets amplified but the mirrors they often look a point or so lower. I would not have guessed 67+ on that one though.PL/DMPL are hard via image sand just in general. Since every tick and mark gets amplified but the mirrors they often look a point or so lower.

- ToddPollock You took the words right out of my head. Totally agree.
Also, the photos are picking up some of the scratches on the slab lenses so that's not helping the situation.[ToddPollock] You took the words right out of my head. Totally agree. Also, the photos are picking up some of the scratches on the slab lenses so that's not helping the situation.
