I am not even game enough to try as I don't understand the grades etc that already have been given.

Dunno. I don't want to lead anyone as to what the grades might be. I'll start plugging everyone's guesses into a spreadsheet later next week.

My first attempt at grading using PCGS. It's a fantastic way to get people focused on PCGS system. There are a lot of grading classifications though....given their success, their system clearly has some merit.

And just to re-iterate, that's a great set of halfpennies.

Only 4.5 hours to go people. I've started plugging the grades into the scoring spreadsheet. Someone has guess 5 out of 10 right!
