it took me three times through to achieve 20 out of twenty, keeping track of my answers .
16/20
19/20
20/20
I guess if a person wanted to to become proficient grading drawings then this test would be great practice,,

I think maybe you were over-thinking. All you have to do is look at the set of drawings for a single denomination and rank-order them according to the amount of detail present. I'm a novice grader and got 20/20 the first time out. Then again, I've always been good at tests.  |

Some interesting reading on this link ! http://www.acoin.com/coinschool.htmGrading Question I have on the link below ! Don't you think the bottom right and the very bottom left should be switched ? Or is it because the details in the hair are more important than the in god we trust being missing or are the two equal ? Does the amount of coins of a certain age and denomination out there also have an effect on the grade ? http://www.acoin.com/grading.htm I appreciate all the input to my ramblings and I have to say I have inquired alot of knowledge by using forums and I thank everyone.

I guess me being an artist it was easy to pick up on small amounts of differences in the drawings that I would not see on a real coin

I got 20/20. It's a good quiz as it's harder to grade from drawings, but I wish that they had included some obsolete coinage. I would have liked to see about 50 coins and some that weren't so modern. Thanks for posting the link. It was fun!  |

I got 18/20 in about 5 mins. I'm a bit of a test taker & know very little about grading coins, but from the illustrations, I found it fairly easy to do.

18 out of 20. I must admit I cheated. Read Texasmicks reply and it was easy. In real life, I've only 2 grades, Pretty & Pretty Ugly.
