Poll: Grade Yourself as a Collector and Board Member

CalGold · January 22, 2016 9:05AM

Evaluate yourself by grading skills, knowledge of your series and US coins generally, and your standing on the coin forum.

This will require some introspection for some

Try to be honest, even if you are a dealer

silverpop · January 22, 2016 9:19AM

I have some understanding of coins, but not a expert

as for my standing here on the forum no idea

One of my High School teachers told our class the more you know, the more you realize what you don't know.

Edited to add- I will pass on grading myself

I love your MS68 definition

I am truly great, know it, and show it and people feel privileged to hear from me

My forum rating is a 4, so I guess I'm a MS64

bigjpst · January 22, 2016 10:37AM

Wow. I figured it would be all 70s.

You know what they say, ownership adds at least 1 point.

Very clever definitions.

I like to think I am a 64, but maybe only 63+

Others may be certain that I am only a 60

Everywhere I go I'm rubbed raw and ready to hurl for consistency, accuracy, and distance. I'm AG-3 on my best days but I like it!

Jinx86 · January 22, 2016 1:04PM

Great list! I voted 64, I'm a shy person by nature so showing off just isn't in me.

MidLifeCrisis · January 22, 2016 1:30PM

I am freakin' awesome...MS 72+ GOLD CAC

lordmarcovan · January 22, 2016 2:05PM

Interesting poll. Very sociological, somehow.

I gave myself MS64, like the current majority.

TwoSides2aCoin · January 22, 2016 8:03PM

I boycotted out of defiance. Who won ?

oih82w8 · January 22, 2016 8:25PM

I voted "minimally exceptional".

DollarAfterDollar · January 22, 2016 8:50PM

I think I'm in the MS 65 range. I know what I want to know, I'm a solid contributor and don't get (many) nasty PM's. sooooo......

johnny9434 · January 22, 2016 11:52PM

knowledge and skill, the rest will take care of itself.

LindeDad · January 23, 2016 12:07AM

You did!

Well... grading oneself is much like the cinematic/TV awards programs...which I will not watch since it is just a 'dig me' festival....I imagine the hoi poloi of entertainment would look much

different if they were truly rated on quality by the viewing public. So, I will refrain from self praise... though those categories are descriptively entertaining... Cheers, RickO

Poor

Baley · January 23, 2016 3:49AM

I gave myself a 65; I'm surprised that it's not a more popular response

TPRC · January 23, 2016 4:07AM

TwoSides2aCoin · January 23, 2016 4:07AM

I'm on the edge. You guys knew that

Thanks to a few board members and fellow ebay players, here is my newest acquisition. Pretty is as pretty does.

Bought this coin without seeing the reverse.

JohnnyCache · January 23, 2016 5:38AM

MS 63 I am mostly run of the mill, know it, and try to act accordingly

RYK · January 23, 2016 6:30AM

I am XF-45.

I have had some wear but my best attributes are still easy to recognize and, as such, make me quite desirable (in part due to my scarcity, especially of late).

AUandAG · January 23, 2016 6:49AM

63 here

Raybo · January 23, 2016 9:02AM

I have been collecting for...... about 40+ years?
I love the hobby and that's where it stops, I gave myself a 64 just because I do not want to get involved in all the mucky muck.
