[QUOTE="chip, post: 676817, member: 19122"]I have undergraded all the other coin education topics, so this time I took what I thought, and then added the difference I have been wrong before that is how I came up with my ms 65, I am feeling pretty confident that the losing streak will come to an end, maybe not this time but even a blind robin finds a worm now and then. Just a thought about weak strikes in general, it seems to me that factoring in weak strikes for the grade makes grading more subjective, I do not think grading needs to be more subjective. The analogy is like testing at school, everybody gets the same test, but factoring in weak strikes is like adding ten points to charleys test because charley typically forgets to answer two or three questions. But if everybody factors in weak strikes and a few do not then the few that do not stand to lose out on the resale oppurtunity, not that we need to wring the last cent from any transaction, but with the differing values based on grade sometimes being multiples within one point losing a few points can mean a pretty big loss financially.[/QUOTE]
