<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 4865358, member: 15309&quot;]So you are saying as a professional numismatist who worked as a grader at several TPGs that you enjoy giving the &quot;chatroom rubes&quot; impossible tests for your own amusement under the guise that they get to learn something and you get your &quot;gotcha&quot; moment.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure what you mean by high power, but if it has anything to do with magnification, I was always told that grading is done with 5X magnification.&nbsp; And what does my expertise have to do with anything.&nbsp; My expertise is primarily focused on Jefferson Nickels, in regards to most everything else, I think my knowledge is pretty average.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you understand that &quot;lots of twists&quot; in combination with &quot;I don&#039;t expect many here to get the correct answers on any quiz&quot; is a cocktail for a gotcha moment?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They may not have given you an answer, but I bet they gave you a complete question.&nbsp; Why not take the feedback that you are being given and use it to &quot;learn&quot; and make your quizzes fair by providing enough information for someone to solve them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I run many GTG threads, and if they take no effort and time, why are you unable to post a photograph of an entire coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>Are you taking photographs of coins submitted to ICG where posting full photos on an internet chat room would violate some company policy?&nbsp; If that is the reason, then just say so.&nbsp; If that isn&#039;t the reason, stop playing games and start posting full coin photos.&nbsp; You just said it takes &quot;no effort/time&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course few posters realized the edge was damaged, in order to know what the edge is supposed to look like, we need to see the entire coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not going to think about it.&nbsp; If you have something to say, then say it.&nbsp; You have had your &quot;gotcha&quot; moment for the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, why do you wait so long to reveal the answer.&nbsp; Doug seemed to think that maybe you were waiting for the correct answer, but you put that theory to bed when you plainly stated that you don&#039;t expect many to get the answer to your quizzes.&nbsp; So what is the reason, just enjoy being the puppeteer?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
