We are constantly challenged on this forum with grading and giving and receiving subjective examinations. We have true experts in many diverse fields.
Spending time here allows all of us to sharpen our skills, such as spotting this coin as a details problem in seconds.
There are many times more collectors who try to understand these complexities without our advantages. A look at what is sold on
ebay constantly reminds us of those collectors that have not learned many basic skills.
We can only do our best, as we do, to welcome new members and hope they join our discussions.
Remembering that all of us knew almost nothing at one point, too.
