New community grading forum

[Architecht]

Hi guys,

 

We've added a new forum that can be found here:

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=71&PHPSESSID=

 

 

--------------------------------

We've created this new board primarily to give a place to new collectors (either to numismatics or just to a given specialty) to get grading help and education from other members of the boards.

 

Calibrating your ability to grade is one of the big hurdles of the hobby and can contain some painful lessons, especially if you're committing money to the lessons (buying raw coins, paying submission fees, etc.). We would like the community members to be able to help each other to develop perspective and knowledge on these issues so the education process can be enjoyed without any unnecessary bruising.

 

Also, this board can serve as a kind of practice area for even knowledgeable members to quiz each other and keep their skills sharp while simultaneously providing grading discussion and examples to those who can benefit from it.

 

By separating this to its own forum we hope to allow those who enjoy this kind of thing to have their own space to do it in, and to encourage members to seek the help and advice of those who are willing to give it.

 

Regards,

The Moderators

So, are any NGC graders going to pop in and help us calibrate our grading skills, or is that what submission fees are for?

im starting to think of grading fees as tuition

But they're not tax deductible as tuition is!!
