Was not thinking about patenting it. But I'm sure we may be able to.You're free to use the idea as long as you don't claim it as your own.

Little rough on Senior Citizens and yes many know what a smart phone is...just don't like being tracked by Big Brother or having their information compromised. Keep living you will get old as well. Now enough of that; it is an interesting idea for sure. We have enough graders on this site for sure.

BadToTheBone: I think just_carl was making as much fun of himself as anyone else. If I remember from his previous comments he is one of our honored older vessels of knowledge.

I genuinely like this idea as it's a really transparent way to do things.
Gotta use something other than TinyURL though to make it look more professional (perhaps -- if the powers that be like it -- even have it linked into the Coin Community domain somehow? CoinCommunity.com/grade/XXXXXX as a URL shortening system?). :-)
If you have the QR code on one side you should have a representation of basic facts and the grade consensus on the other for convenience as well as have it dated so that whoever's looking at the flip can have a sense of how long ago the consensus was sampled.
Also, if you need help with packaging, design, and logistics, I'm game. (Us librarians like cataloging and designing stuff and I've written a number of scripts that deal with QR coding for packaging and retrieval.) :-)

Yeah Steve I think either have them hosted somewhere on this site or once the grading is done have it nicely formatted on another site. I'm currently transforming my site georgescoins.com to do this, then if it works well I can get the name changed.

Cool idea but I just finished watching the Youtube video and was curious if you just finished mowing the grass?  |

Its a good idea but perhaps too easily taken advantage of. A couple of fake accounts and you'll find the grades will be creeping up.
You'd need to assign graders. And you'd need seperate graders for Brit, ancient, world coins etc. That could be tricky.

I'm a Pillar. I wouldn't trust my VF grade as far I could throw it, but sometimes I find myself chiming in about a coin I find interesting.

I probably would not trust mine either.  At least as nothing more than an opinion. |
