<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 5158999, member: 24314&quot;]Wow, what a long discussion.&nbsp; I&#039;m taking a break from writing an article and decided to go back to read the beginning of this thread that I have been posting on this week.&nbsp; <i>I had no idea it was started <span style="color: #b30000"><b>THREE YEARS AGO</b></span></i> yet as far as I have read, it could have been written <i>YESTERDAY</i> as nothing stated has changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I came to a [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] question about this coin in a slab:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/4c990923-425c-4468-ab0d-eace3cf2e16a-jpeg.833670/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>baseball21 did not think this coin was overgraded and asked:&nbsp; <b>Are you a 1700s gold expert now?</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>In MHO. you don&#039;t need to be an expert on 18th Century coins to grade THE OBVERSE of this coin.&nbsp; True, coins have two sides and an edge but very often the amount of detail remaining on each side is different for various reasons not important here.</p><p><br /></p><p>So w/o taking a swipe at this grading service, try this two-part educational quiz:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. What grade did <b>ICG</b> assign to this coin.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>2. What is YOUR personal grade and most importantly why did you assign the grade you did![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
