Did you try http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-grading.php

 

thank you, but I was looking to actually see where on the coin if it was high lighted in color to show where exactly is the highest point of each coin is. ???

 

You can see that from looking at the AU examples in the grading link that Inquisitive provided

 

I understand that but I want them highlighted to know where to look

 

something like this for high points but for Canadian coins:

 

I guess somebody has yet to make a Canadian-coin version of Making the Grade by Beth Deisher and Michael Fahey. I'd like to make that same book, but on S. Korean coins.

Information on high-relief areas of Canadian coins has got to be around somewere.

 

According to the description at Amazon:
"Design high points are highlighted to indicate areas of wear. Visual impairment severity levels are identified by color maps."

I find this book very intriguing, and makes me want to collect US stuff more often!

This is what my book shows for Seated Halves:

 

this is exactly what i am looking for...for Canadian coins.

 

Time to contact the "Canadian Numismatic Association" (if that's what it's called) and ask about grading standards for Canadian coins. There HAS to be grading standards book for Canadian coins (one that has the little arrows pointing out the high points?). There are far too many Canadian collectors out there for there NOT to be.

 

I see I made you happy. Do I get a "Like" now?

 

curious as to what language is under your mlov43 nickname in your avatar ??? and what it says ???

 

"Coin Collector" in both Korean alphabetic letters (hangul) and Chinese ideographic characters.

 

thanks

Lol; No offense @mlov43
I just finished reading a story in Canadian Coin News about Charles (Chuck) Moore who passed away a few weeks ago and helped get the 'Royal' added to the official name.
