<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 827078, member: 17555&quot;]Hey Doug,, I agree.&nbsp; &nbsp; Establishing someone&#039;s true &quot;in hand&quot; grading ability based on pictures posted in some thread is not ideal....&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The point is to provide everyone an opportunity to have some fun,, maybe hone thier skills abit on the few good pictures, and learn alot about how to judge cents on bad pictures.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some of my best takes on the &#039;bay were those posted with pics much much worse than the one&#039;s I&#039;ll post, and some close to what I&#039;ll post.&nbsp;&nbsp; These auctions generally go for a discount, and the forum members will be well served to learn how to judge the different ways poor pictures can hide a coins grade.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the ability being measure here is:</p><p>1 - Grading (yes, you have to know how to grade what you can see, or think you can see).</p><p>and </p><p>2 - Ability read a picture,, </p><p>&nbsp; -&nbsp; to fill in details you can&#039;t see based on a subset of what you can see (if any),,,</p><p>&nbsp; - to exclude things you can see which may not really be there....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
