Or do individuals have a personal &quot;ceiling&quot;, due to their natural limitations ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Have you known someone who seems truly remarkable, and seems to have a gift for grading ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps it&#039;s both a gift and a skill...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For this discussion, let&#039;s include <b>all </b>aspects of evaluating any coins including ancients. Consider detecting counterfeits, alterations, discerning wear from weak strike or worn / greasy dies, AT vs NT, and anything else you can think of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gentlemen, start your engines !!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
