GUESS THE GRADE-1853 Half Cent

I see that it is a public poll, I voted in it. How was the winner identified, if it is a public poll and the so-called winner did not declare their chosen grade in the op[en forum, how does one know what grade he chose. Everyone else declared their grade in the forum. Correct?

Everyone else declared? I did not, but I voted 64BN. Click on any number on the right side of the poll and you can see how everyone voted. That is also how I run my "Guess the Grade" polls

 

Usually, a POLL is a tool used to determine a " Consensus " , and not generally used to identify anyone individually. Whereas a "Declaration " is publicly identifying oneself and stating your belief or opinion . No big deal here. It's nice to know upfront, how and what a vote in these Polls are used for determining. A Consensus or an Individual Declaration. As I said, no big deal, congrats to the winner.

 

So you are telling me that I cannot run my "guess the Grade"'s using a poll? Believe me, I am not using it to find a "consensus".

BTW, had you bothered to read this poll, as well as all of mine, when it was open, it clearly stated;

 

Coinman, if it makes you feel any better Mark was the first one to guess that grade.
You are right, without publicly stated your grade you can't be for sure, I know for a fact he was the first person to guess MS63-BN.

 

I'll guess MS-63 BN , This is the correct grade derived at many years of coin collecting and intense training at grading and also seeing the answer first . LOL

LOL - I wonder if RLM will let me use that method.

 

You can do it all you want. I usually post the answers before the poll closes. The only problem is that I record the answers BEFORE I post the answer.

 

Yeah - but you can add my afterwards. Ricky B probably still has a few of my Lincolns and I could have him mail you one.

 

PS - the only one I have left is the lowest grade that is a 64RB that I got from Jack and think it was one of yours.

 

Would a bribe help ?
