<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 560889, member: 15199&quot;]For all, even those who do feel they have the ability to accurate grade a coin, this type of forum is ( at its best) as good as grading by photo that you can get, and its free.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to realize that often truth in their eyes may hurt. One must accept the free opinion from others with grace. I rarely respond to &quot;grade this&quot; requests to people who have an attitude with the answers. I really appreciate and try to emulate the responders who take the time to explain their grading or response to a variety/error request. Education is such an important part of the function of the forum, that is how expertise develops.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, even though I know I could never prove it to a TPG, I photograph each coin I send in, noting with a closeup a distinctive spot or mark. At least that way I can convince myself whether I should make a fuss or not. I know from experience that even a coin returned slabbed often looks like it is a different coin even thought my photos show it is the same <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
