have the senior/experienced members ever considered posting select coin pics and asking the rest of us to "identify" & "grade" them....
maybe as a training/experience mini-contest?
might be a fun thing to do...........

We do something similar: You might have noticed the "You vs PCGS/NGC/ANACS/IGC" threads in the "US Modern/Classic Coin Grading" forum. What we do there is take a picture of the coin in the slab without taking a picture of the grade. You then tell people to guess the grade that the TPG assigned. After some time, maybe 2 or 3 days, the OP will post the grade on the slab. Its quite fun! |

There are GTG and you vs TPG topics posted quite frequently in the US classic coin grading section.  edit to add - COTW beat me to the post - well played...  Edited by dave700x

As the others state, it is a quite common thing here. Usually a few graded coins up in either modern or classic US at any given time.

It would be a nice twist if the moderators posted their best coins and whoever guesses first wins it  |

Somewhat amusingly, I have a similar coin to Hnry's profile picture - an 1869 "Young Head" Maundy groat (S.3917) in NGC MS65; the toning is even very similar to his profile picture's. Too funny. I'll attach a picture when I get home. edit:   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
