<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2984264, member: 71723&quot;]That thread gives me many smiles. To me, that needs to be forever archived to prove something I&#039;ve LONNNNG suspected:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Attempting to grade from even GOOD pictures is so foolish as to be pointless. [BTW, yet ANOTHER Bellman indictment of Internet numismatics.]</p><p><br /></p><p>and</p><p><br /></p><p>2) There is SOME point at which one&#039;s age and experience actually NEGATIVELY impacts their credibility regarding grades and grading. I am so worried about that happening to me that I&#039;ve resolved to ALWAYS keep taking new courses and actively FORGET what I used to &quot;know&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know and personally interact with many many older experienced numismatists who DO NOT do it for a living. There is NOT EVEN ONE that doesn&#039;t consistently undergrade EVERYTHING.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize they all think modern grading OVERgrades. To-may-to, to-mah-to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
