I'm going to post another group of quizzes; but first...

....a very good example of condescension. It helps explain the meaning.

The Class now understands.

Genuine, real, authentic, original

 

To be honest, I don't think the daisy in the picture is real. It looks to me to be an artistic generic rendering of a daisy. While the artist may have pulled from personal encounters with daisies and even used actual daisies as models the flower in the image has never existed outside the digital world. The flower in the image is not a daisy and never was a daisy. It has not petals and never had any petals. And so on. Because it was never real.

 

Yes, but WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING MISSING in the description of the fake image of a daisy that also applies to coins and is one of the first things we notice while grading or authenticating them.

Round...

 

The 1st thing I notice about a coin is constantly changing. It all depends on my perspective, purpose and goal for looking. Take the daisy in the image you posted. The 1st thing I may have noticed is the flower was not a Black-Eyed Susan. If I were searching for Blacked-Eyed Susan.

Thanks for your contribution? You make grading a coin sound very wishy-washy.

Actually before venturing into this thread; I was searching and reading articles concerning The upcoming Preakness Stakes. So when I initially looked at the image of the daisy the 1st thing I noticed was the flower was not a Black-Eyed Susan. Nor was it a yellow daisy. Yellow daisies with the center stamen dyed black are the actual flowers used for the blanket draped over the Preakness winner. Black-Eyed Susan are not in bloom this time of year. So color may have provided a subconscious cue that lead to my determination.

 

You have swerved into something I intended to look up.

I wondered if there were yellow daisies. Any other colors? Is a Black-Eyed Susan in the same "family?" Thanks.

 

Actually if you google the Preakness Garland you'll get an array of answers. Most say the flower used is the Viking Pom a member of the chrysanthemum family. But yes I believe the Daisy and Black-eyed Susan are closely related.

 

After all of these bizarre posts, perhaps now people understand why I have never submitted a coin to ICG, and have never purchased a coin in an ICG holder that I did not intend to flip.

 

I only buy the ones marked "APPROVED FOR BLIND COLLECTORS". The labels are in Braille.

I never purchase the ones marked "QUIZ TESTED".

Don't Smith me, Bro. I am old.

 

No not condescending. If you can get people thinking. They don’t minimize

 

So what did the class learn from this thread? Well? What's the most important thing? Come on. Spit it out.

 

Reminds me of my high school chemistry teacher. Class was at 8am. He regularly showed up drunk. Even fell down once when he tried to lean against the blackboard but didn't realize he was three feet away from it. I learned more about Physics than Chemistry.

 

This is two-dimensional image of a symmetrical flower with a Goldish center disc with spots of brown that creates a "granular" appearance on the surface. The center disc is surrounded by 16 elongated elegant, soft white petals with a crease in the middle and scalloped tips.

Sorry, forgot all about this discussion.

Answer: COLOR

This is one of the most important characteristics of a coin to consider when grading and authenticating it.
