    I'm thinking this is a fun way to apply for a job.

    Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !

    What % correct did the first place winners get?

    Mark,



    Thanks for posting the results.



    Possible to get any additional info?



    Such as:

    * What were the coins/issues that they had to grade?

    * How many folks were doing these?

    * How well they did? (I understand maybe not putting the numbers to the people, if it makes them feel bad, but at least the 1st place person shouldn't feel bad, right? image )





    I always find these things cool. I can never get to them, myself, but they are cool.



    Congrats, especially, to the YNs. Certainly not an easy thing for a young person to do.....hard even for some of us that aren't so young.....

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I won first place for the collectors club, and I was told I got 61% correct. Im not really sure how the scoring worked

    I am quite the newbie to this forum even though I've been a member since 2013, but I am excited to have won 1st in the YN category (2nd time).

    Good eyes, guys. Imagine the accuracy it takes scoring in the 90 percentile. And we argue about gradeflation.

    Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !
