[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7675130, member: 13307"]The only reason I ever respond to these GTG threads is to improve my grading skills, which vary depending on who is describing them (my grading skills.) If I were to describe them, I'd consider myself on the low end of intermediate. But I usually tend to get within a point or two on the pieces I respond to, so I suppose that means I'm not terrible at it. My only experience with Feuchtwanger Tokens was finding one at the bottom of a tote (a 12 1/2 cent piece, if I remember correctly) that my auctioneer boss was just going to throw into a bin of random stuff. I begged him to let me at least look it up - he did - and it brought pretty decent money when we listed in an auction. My guess at a grade was pretty much exactly what I wrote in my reply - and I was the first to comment with the correct grade. If I had said something really uneducated/incorrect, I'd have read the other responses and hopefully learned something to improve. All this to say, don't worry - it's all a learning experience and at least I, for one, didn't judge you for your answer. Keep working at it :)[/QUOTE]
