How does the scratch thru the head affect the grade?

  1. I would detail the coin no matter how perfect the rest of the coin was!

  2. I would drop the grade considerably, no higher than 62 but straight grade it.

  3. That scratch is not important to me.

    Yes! I have've had instructors whose lesson plan could have been called "stump the students", "let me impress them with my knowledge", or "only I know the correct answer".

    The best are the language professors that will only communicate in that language from the first second of the first day eventhough they're teaching a class for people that have never taken the language before

    I find this thread quite interesting, as I think it did succeed in what Insider was trying to accomplish. Teaching adults ( well most ) is difficult as most do not want to ever be wrong with their opinions they make public and few want to participate to draw attention to themselves. In teaching I discovered I could say at the beginning of a lecture , "I just might make a misspoken statement and the first to raise hand and correct me will get a bonus score for the end grade". It gave them something positive to study. ( yes it is like training dogs and other animals with a treat), dogs are excited cats act disinterested unless the treat is alive.
    Maybe ICG would let him award 1 free grading ( or more ) for the first to answer correctly ( 1 try per participant), or not. Jim

    Most of his "lessons" don't have answers, let alone right/wrong ones.

    This thread is another example of why I generally dislike the Socratic Method.

    Second I looked at I said that scratch was on the die not the coin. Late to the party but that one didn’t get by me for a second

    @Morgandude,

    I just received notification of two new "likes" and pulled up this discussion. I forgot all about posts such as this in the thread. Yesterday, you posted much the same in another discussion of mine while refusing to share your knowledge or anything of educational value to the thread. You can continue to entertain your fanboys :blackeye: with comments; but I will no longer be bothered.
    So reluctantly :(, you became #9...:kiss::dead:

    I have to ask what date/ mm the subject coin is. It looks like something I should look for.:writer:

    Who knows anymore. At the time, the date and Mint were not important to me. If a person looks at enough coins in a particular series they will discover that the dies of certain designs tend to break at the same places for every date/mint in the series.

    My searches tend to be very specific. I always (almost) know what I'm looking for and search it out and WLH's are not something I frequent. Just thought it would be a good target but didn't realize you pulled it up using the way back machine.;)
