<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 868259, member: 15309&quot;]Baha,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know this is your gig and everything but I think your scoring system is a little unfair.&nbsp; You are calculating the grading difference simply by subtracting the numerical values.&nbsp; This does not present a problem in the mint state grades but does for the circulated grades.&nbsp; For example, the SLQ was an AU50 but I guessed AU53.&nbsp; I got 3 points because of the numerical difference but there are no such grades as AU51 or AU52.&nbsp; I really think you should count the number of recognized grades rather than subtracting the numbers.&nbsp; I was only off by one grade on that coin.&nbsp; Your way will unfairly skew the contest towards those members who collect circulated coinage.&nbsp; I submit that if anything, it is more important to be able to grade in the uncirculated realm due to the price variations involved.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Using the method of counting the number of established grades away from the assigned grade the new scores would be:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>bqcoins:&nbsp; 1.5</p><p>raider34:&nbsp; 1</p><p>bigjpst:&nbsp; &nbsp; 1.25</p><p>badthad:&nbsp; 2</p><p>chip:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1.5</p><p>rlm cents: 1.25</p><p>Leadfoot:&nbsp; 1.25</p><p>swish513:&nbsp; 2</p><p>Lehigh96:&nbsp; 1.25</p><p>Duke:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1.25</p><p>mumu:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.25</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It becomes a much closer horse race this way and really think it is more fair.&nbsp; Anyway, that is my suggestion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
