Question about “guess the grade forums”

JamesM

Well it seems to me that if you wanted opinions on a coin you would not want to make a “guess the grade” forum because that would imply you in fact know the grade because its already in a slab.

So if I wanted to post a coin or two to get feedback on what should the title say?

Or am I wrong about what a “guess the grade forum” is?


Thanks for the information

Think the title can be used both ways.
Known grade for teaching or possible under/over grading of a coin..
Unknown or ungraded to test your skils or the dealer that sold it to you skills.

I enjoy the 'guess the grade' posts.

It's a great way to learn, although we must remember it's still only based on a picture.

"Guess the grade" can be either "guess the grade the TPG assigned" or "give me your opinion on this raw coin". We're easy.

I agree. To me it doesn't matter if the coin is already slabbed, or is raw. If the images
are good enough, the grades will eventually narrow down, with some exceptions.

It's one of the best threads here...

To me "guess the grade" implies a third party has graded the coin; I think "what do you think this coin will grade' would be a better choice.

If you want feedback on a coin, why not just "Grade from the pictures" or "Opinions of this coin"?
That's kind of what I do....I'll take a picture, start a thread, and just say "Grade from the pics"....whether raw of TPG.

I like them for testing opinions on raw coins that im considering submitting

but also for slabbed stuff that im not in total agreement on what has been assigned
