[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3999216, member: 73489"][B][I]Congrats on your performance Messy ! :cigar: :D[/I][/B] As I expected, I was pretty close on 6 of the coins, within 2 numbers. I was within 5 (hey, that's CLOSE for ME !!!:D) on 3 coins, and exactly nailed one coin (the VF 25). I was way off on 5 of the items (more than 5 numbers off).

No idea how my score would be, but I do think that a better gauge of grading skills would have been multiple coins of the type a professional grader or serious U.S. coin collector would normally see or purchase: [B]Saints, Morgans (they had these), SLQs, Franklins, Dimes, etc. [/B] A larger number of coins would also eliminate random variability.
