Good luck, same rules as last time!
Edit: here are the rules.
"I thought it would be interesting to run a sort of experiment here with GTGs. Oftentimes posters will use GTGs to get an idea of if to resubmit a coin, or not to.
Here's my question - how accurate is the forum, grading from images alone? Over the years, I've built up a good chunk of coins with my own images that we can use for this purpose, given the consistent images and vast array of grades/services.
Here's how I plan to do it - one coin a week, after which the grades will be tallied and scored. Each correct answer will be 0 points, 1 point off is 1 point, 2 points off 2 points, etc. Missing designations counts as a point. Essentially, the fewer points at the end of the grade session the better. All coins for the moment will be CAC certified, so as to add another degree of accuracy in the actual grade. I will also choose coins I feel are properly graded.
I will upload the guesses into the below publicly accessible Google Sheet, so you all can view the data for yourselves.

I'll let each coin run for roughly three days."
This one will end early, and coin #3 will end late due to circumstances beyond my control. The white lines are slab scratches.

These can be tough to grade. A thoroughly original early Bust gold. I'll guess high, either AU58+cac.

Au 53, if there's others it's ok 👍
I have very little experience grading gold but if the amount of luster is the same as for silver i would guess AU-55. James
Details AU.
Could you choose one of those please?
All coins for this experiment are CAC straight grades.

Had to think about this one for a quite a bit. To me, the obverse is more like a 55, but the reverse is more like a 50 (53 on a good day). So I'm going to split the difference, relatively, and call this one AU-53.

Now that I think about it, it probably has too much wear to call it a 55. 53 would be my adjusted guess.

This one might suffer with lower grade guesses because of the marked up holder, plast-x probably would have helped out on this one.

That's certainly a possibility. I imaged this one over a year ago now, so nothing that could be done today.

Torn on grades again. It certainly is a lovely DOG (Dirty Old Gold).

Reveal is:
Forum average was AU53, +/- 3.5 points. That gets us to AU50 or AU55+, with the average guess being five points off. Much wider spread than last time!
Intersting. Overgraded IMO

Wow, I agree, overgraded. And really surprising that it received a CAC sticker at that grade.
Don’t necessarily agree this is overgraded, I was pretty on the line with the reverse looking solidly 58. Figured that CAC would like it as a 55 though.
