<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2742595, member: 71723&quot;]Agreed. At Orlando ANA show, I judged a category that INCLUDED the most extensive collection of intentionally mangled large cents and half cents I&#039;ve ever seen assembled. It finished third, by a significant margin, on all three judges&#039; scoresheets. Number 1 and Number 2 were VERY close to each other. The one we unanimously named the winner got 2nd Place in Best in Show (different judges). The 3rd Place exhibit won People&#039;s Choice. Lesson: the standard of regular numismatic judging, as taught and retaught regularly and mandatorily DID NOT MATCH AT ALL with public opinion. I&#039;m okay with that, and I&#039;ve taken a vow to TEACH THE RIGHT WAY, not bow to public ignorance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
