<p>[QUOTE="monkeyman, post: 377464, member: 9662"]As many of you know, several coins are posted on cointalk every day to be evaluated as genuine or counterfeit and graded. On most of these threads, there are atleast 5 or 6 opinions on the coins grade. So I was thinking, what if we made that into a kind of grading company. I thought to call it CTGA or cointalk grading average. Lets say five people make a grade on a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>1.Vf-30</p><p>2.Vf-25</p><p>3.Xf40</p><p>4.Vf20</p><p>5.VF25</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You would then add up all the grades (30,25,40,20,25) and average them together. on this coin, the average grade would be a VF-28 which in turn would round up to a VF-30. then, the way to check to see if the coin that is graded is actually the real coin.

The only thing it doesnt have is the date the thread was posted.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/marshmallowmonkey/screen-capture-1.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know what you think, I know there are problems, like a user who just tries to throw off the grade by calling an unc coin ag-3.
