I think this could be interesting for people who need to learn more, like me, a lot more.

I have actually downloaded that display of wearing at the beginning of the linked article and I use it to compare my coins with it.

Takes some time but one can generally learn to grade after much practice.

I imagine that this would break all sorts of copyright rules that Markin really doesn't need the dramas of on this site :angel::ok:

I just wanted to know how to load a pdf document

that ANDA pdf is a public document on their website so I doubt there would be any problems

I have a few copies (for my coin club) of the actual ANDA booklet if anyone is interested.
They are usually giveaways at ANDA shows.

I think this would be exceptionally forward thinking of any Australian Numismatic society when compared with the ANA etc. However I am going to go out on a speculator here but considering it is in Melbourne and considering it seems to be borrowing from the ANDA grading standards I am leaning to believe it may be the author of those specific standards and therefore a massive step backwards, if it turns out to be someone else than kudos to them.
