Quote from: 'kchan1111' pid='71520' dateline='1430227573'Ok so even though I have a set - and you can tell the difference between each grade. There are lots of times when I compare a coin side by side against them and get it wrong. There's something I am not paying attention to. If someone can go through examples, and explain why - that would be helpful for me.

In other words, the grading set provides me with examples of an expert grader's grade. I am interested in understanding the thought process that led to that grade.

Other things like pointing signs between wear and weak strike like lustre would be helpful.

Am I approaching this too scientifically?

For instance... http://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=1976&page=77&highlight=Noble - comparing it with examples from my grading set I couldn't tell it was a MS63.

Don't worry Kchan your not alone in having this issue.  I am in the same position when looking at proof coins sometimes.

Thanks Eric. I will be there. Look forward to having a chat with you. :)

The Drake Sterling stand will be at the next Petersham, but I don't believe Eric will be.

My 1934 Benchmark florin result came back from PCGS crossover. Down one grade to MS64. Damn was really dreaming of MS65. :)

Thanks Ausproof. Yeah it's a good price when you look at bluesheet values. MS63 or lower would be bad and so I requested a floor at MS63 in the crossover submission.

Yes, that's right. My coins will be at Petersham, but I won't be unfortunately. However, Rob has kindly volunteered to fill my shoes and he's just as keen to chat as I am.

Fr45 is Rob :)
We have too many Rob's, Robbiegal, Robster, Rob Barat and probably a few more here as well but not as many as our Steve, Stevo, Stephen or Steven as there must be about 100 of them :winkextra:

But lucky only one AJ :blink:

Thank God for that! Sorry, AJ, could not resist that.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.
