<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1823880, member: 36864&quot;]XF coins will show a decent amount of wear only on the higher points where a VF coin will show some wear over most of the devices of the coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s a subtle difference, but one that will become obvious as you look at tons of coins.&nbsp; Dealers can usually grade pretty well because they examine dozens if not hundreds of coins per day.&nbsp; It&#039;s a bit different for collectors though, we just don&#039;t see or examine that many coins.&nbsp; A tip that my grandfather taught me when I was about five was to grade every coin that you get in your change.&nbsp; By doing this, you really get a feel of how wear occurs.&nbsp; For the past thirty years or so I have done this, and it has served me pretty well.&nbsp; It just takes a bit of time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
