<p>[QUOTE="Coinsandmedals, post: 3822472, member: 107435"]One of the things I enjoyed the most about the online discussion forums were the guess the grade threads. Admittedly, these were usually for U.S. coins that most forum members knew of, which certainly made things a bit easier. I have tried, with varying degrees of success, to expand this to world coins. However, I have yet to do so here on CT. So here it goes… today we have 10 coins fresh from NGC with grades all over the board. Please feel free to submit your grade estimates in the comments. If you think the coin has issues (i.e., cleaned, scratched, damaged, whizzed, etc.) and warranted a details grade feel free to state so. Also, please do not feel as though you have to “spare” my feelings. I do this for fun and take nothing to heart. Okay, let the games begin!</p><p><br /></p><p>Disclaimers: I understand the numerous caveats with grading from pictures on the internet with even the highest quality images. With that said, I know my pictures are not the best, but it is the best I can do with my current iPhone and book stack setup. If you feel as though the images are not sufficient for you to respond, say so. Also, if anyone has suggestions for how I can improve my pictures, I am all ears!!</p><p><br /></p><p>1. 1799 SOHO Great Britain Bronzed Pattern P-1246 Halfpenny</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1017415[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>2. 1807 Soho G.
