Long Beach World Series of Grading

coinkat

Any results yet? Just curious how many folks participated...

If it takes as long to get the results back as it did at FUN, then those folks will be waiting a while?

I jumped in at the last minute just for the fun of it.

I jumped in right away for the five grand.

tradedollarnut

Been there, done that...

Andy,
You know Bruce didnt jump in for the fivegrand?


TDN,

did you think the coins were easier this time, the same, or tougher?

I thought they were easier. It seemed to be mainly dollars and saints ... which are as easy as any to grade.

I disagree. There are 2 1922 and 4 1923 Peace dollars. I bet if we send in these 6 coins raw 5 times, we will get 5 different combination of grades. If PCGS graders cannot consistently grade them, you have to be very lucky to guess the grades correct.

I think last year final round is easier

A Lot of the coins were sliders also and could go either way.

I did slightly better this time, but my inexperience in gold still caused me to undergrade a few of the 20's. The commems I did better as well as the morgan's, Thier was one or two I totally blew it on, but overall not too bad. Made another spot into the final round, but I am not able to attend San Fran anyway due to a conflict, but it was still fun to participate.

Good luck to the rest of the folks signing up !!!

Hmmmm - I didn't see any sliders.

I would do terribly on these grading contests. I agonize too much over the $5 and $10 Indians.

I am just a mediocre grader.

tradedollarnut

Who can grade $5 Indians?!?!

Merc

They threw in 6 common date Peace dollars for the grading contest? That seems kind of dull. I hope there were a few tricky counterfeits to make it a bit more interesting.

SethChandler

The coins in the contest sucked. Must have been a half roll of 1922 Peace Dollars, 5 generic 63/65 Saints.

They should have a much better mix of coins....hey we are talking PCGS here!

I haven't rec'd my score yet, but my goal is a 70.


Seth

BTW What did you fellows grade the Seated Dime, 1932 Ten Indian, and the really nice 81-S Morgan?

tradedollarnut

65, counterfeit, 67 [I think]

Ah, what a treasure trove that was!!

Wondo

I don't have to grade - there's PCGS.
