[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1833025, member: 8797"]So you will judge the entire forum based on the accuracy of the guesses on this and one other thread, which are themselves based on your fuzzy, angled photos from a cheap camera? Do I understand you correctly? Pretty convoluted logic there, but ok.... How are you judging the 'accuracy' of the grades opined? Will you send it off for grading regardless to see who was closest? Or is it simply a case of 'those whose grades are too dissimilar from mine are just plain wrong'? If this sounds harsh it is because the idea that those who humor you by giving opinions on a grade based on pictures that, if used in an eBay auction most here who may bid would consider it a gamble at best, are themselves (and the forum as a whole) being judged for their opinions. That's kind of insulting to me as a regular member of this forum. You can see the 'guess the grade' threads here where that could actually be done, and still isn't, because they are posted as more of a tool to hone a skill than as a way to tell whose grading opinions are more accurate. And they aren't posted in 'what's it worth'. Since this is in 'what's it worth' I and others deem it to be a question of the grade/value of your coin....
