my USCF ratting is around 1100 and my online rating is mid 1500. Based on what my chess coach says, " You are only good if you play your best."

I say you're good when you can go to the local [casual] place to play and school everybody there. For me, it's a nearby coffee shop. (They make EXCELLENT coffee, but the chess players there aren't particularly good).
LOL ozzie!

That's absolutely true rubiks, my chess coach also says, "What you think is what not others might think. Believe that you are good, then you are good."
This is the classification table for elo:
2000–2199: Expert 1800–1999: Class A 1600–1799: Class B 1400–1599: Class C 1200–1399: Class D 1000–1199: Class E 800-999: Class F 600-799: Class G 400-599: Class H 200-399: Class I 100-200: Class JRatings on here are inflated. Especially correspondence ratings. I've seen folk here that state that they have 1200-1300 USCF and have played consistently at 1700 on this site.
Personally, I'd say anyone playing at class 'c' would be a good player and imagine that their rating here would be between 1900-2000 on correspondence.
None of this is hard facts, just lose thoughts. Makes sense to me though :)
No one on chess.com is Class J, but there are some on Class I
