<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1756071, member: 3726&quot;]rlm already covered the picture size.&nbsp; I would also like to remind you grading from pictures can be, and is, harder than grading with a coin in your hand.&nbsp; With the coin in hand you can twirl it to get an idea of the luster and hits.&nbsp; Even with the best pictures you might see something that causes you to take it down or up a grade. Coin in hand is better.&nbsp; You might also want to get the ANA grading guide.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In my opinion as long as you are within 1 point of the grade I think it is pretty good.&nbsp; Now the import part is rlm does not just post the grade - he posts his opinion and observations at the same time.&nbsp; That is very helpful.&nbsp; As matter of fact if I said 66, the tpg said 65 and rlm says he thinks 66 - then I consider it a victory.&nbsp; Especially since I only had the pictures. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like these threads and I wish others had hundreds of graded coins to share so we can practice with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
