Coin grading and scholastic grading?

logger7logger7 Posts: 9,964 ✭✭✭✭✭

Are people with regular and advanced degrees more likely to like grading service grading? It reminds me a little of when in college you wait to see how well you do in the course, but of course the comparison is a little flawed. In school you have a good idea of your likely grade.

    People with advanced academic degrees, especially in physical sciences, might be more likely to be observant of physical detail, and possibly LESS accepting of TPG works. A situation based on training and experience under critical tutelage.

    But - is it apple juice, sangria, or Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge ?

    I was thinking in terms of how some people hate grading and others see it as another application of human reason to qualitative differences. Whether it is people that are graded or things, increasingly exacting standards apply. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/grading

    I know people who are world-class potato graders. I wonder how they’d do at coins.

    Ok, now I need to stop reading threads and get some juice as you have made me thirsty. Could have been the Tex-Mex too I guess.

    I prefer to grade them once they've been turned into fries.

    Strange question... I fail to see the relationship....There are some people here with advanced degrees and they are very good graders... a few others, not so much....Cheers, RickO
