[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 7854000, member: 108985"]I just need to correct this so it is legible: [correction] Your suggestion would render the Bust Nuts at the John Reich Society all idiots because they look at imperfect coins and then dive deeply into die states and grade accordingly. They can discern when defects are die varieties, or wear, or just worn dies. Try doing that with just a little bit of observational practice...or whatever you called it. Your proposal depends on two flawed hypothesis... 1) that we can get agreement without the existence of strong criteria based on experience, and 2) that amateurs with minimal training can determine coin quality...which they absolutely can't. This is like when we were kids and made fun at Rothko paintings. We thought we were the experts on art. [/correction][/QUOTE]
