<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 837371, member: 17555&quot;]&quot;My point was that you post, we grade, and everyone judges everyone... except you. If you offer an opinion from in-hand, then we can learn what you think as well, holding us <b>all</b> accountable.&quot; </p><p>- BadThad posted a couple that I took a stab at and included in the results in this thread.., and I&#039;ll continue to do so if others post lincoln guess the grades in other threads,,,&nbsp; but in all honesty I&#039;d be biased in posting expected grades on coins that I know the grade of.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can say that my grades would probably be the same based on this set of pictures in this thread vs. in hand... in fact, many times I see detail in these pictures that I don&#039;t notice under an industrial &#039;highly&#039; illuminated 10x loupe I picked up from Starret a few years ago.&nbsp; With no doubts, there are some graders in this thread that do a better job at estimating grades than I would with these cents in hand,, easily.</p><p>IMO, in most but not all cases, the variation imparted by the TPG is greater than the variation imparted by the pics,,, but I&#039;m not an expert grader.&nbsp;&nbsp; Judging is a harsh word, I hope no one is basing too much in the results, it&#039;s a friendly competition,, kinda like pitching quarters, or skipping rocks,,,, counting the rock skips after each toss is just for fun and usefull for measuring any marked improvement over time....&nbsp;&nbsp; I will continue to keep track of everyone&#039;s results, and maybe at the end provide a line graph for each player to illustrate thier performance over time.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>I&#039;ve offered to remove anyone from the weekly rankings if they wanted that,, just let me know.</p><p>Also,&nbsp; I will list the tpg in each thread,, pretty sure I did in the first 2 or 3 threads, but must have missed it in this one.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These are PCGS graded in this thread.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
