<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 3956467, member: 16729&quot;]Not sure this is a &quot;thing&quot; yet or not, but here goes:&nbsp; To alleviate the &quot;I can easily learn things via internet&quot; phenomenon among us coin collectors, I think that coin show organizers would do good to have a &quot;coin grading competition&quot; in which dealers participating in the competition can have a coin (in a slab or not, with the grade covered by piece of tape) that they will show visitors to their table.&nbsp; Each visitor marks down the grade they think the coin is on a printout (or better yet, a google doc or survey thingy on their device) and does the rounds at the tables.&nbsp; This would have the added benefit of getting more people to visit dealers&#039; tables to talk and get business going.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At the end of the show, the organizer shares the &quot;actual&quot; grades with everyone, along with the comments from the owners of the coins as to why the coin is graded as such.&nbsp; This might get people interested in the art of coin grading, which is more of a skill (knowledge), and not something based on random facts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
