Coin Grading Standards is what it says. http://www.worldseriesofcoingrading...tready.shtml Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/29/2006 12:12 pm Interesting, though the pics leave something to be desired. Couldn't they at least have used real coins and not drawings? I guess I shouldnt complain too much as I got 18/20 correct Report this Post to the Staff
toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 11/30/2006 03:40 am I took 5 minutes and got 11/20. LOL... It was fun. The drawings make it a lot harder. It would have been better with real coins. Funny lincoln cents with two reverses. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/30/2006 04:03 am WooHoo! I got 20 of 20 correct at 100% but I agree about the pictures, and I don't understand why the Lincoln cents had a wheat and memorial reverse Edited by Bryan1315 11/30/2006 04:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 11/30/2006 11:52 am 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,, Rick Report this Post to the Staff
texasmick Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 11/30/2006 12:13 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

mishap-coins Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 11/30/2006 12:58 pm Some interesting reading on this link ! http://www.acoin.com/coinschool.htm Grading 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.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/30/2006 12:58 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 12/04/2006 10:44 am 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! Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/04/2006 4:17 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
