<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Get Real, post: 2509171, member: 81585&quot;]Yes Sir! and I wasn&#039;t suggesting that that you don&#039;t. I can tell that you are well informed about Lincolns. I was only conveying that those marks that I circled are not incuse and therefore are not PSD. </p><p>Looking at this coin with the naked eye one would assume that the SGS Grade is correct however under magnification is when these marks become visible. Now my confusion is what is the standard magnification at which coins should be graded? Does the terms &quot;Detracting&quot; or &quot;Eye Appeal&quot; come into play with the naked eye or under magnification and if magnified at what level? I have read the Sheldon Scale many times over the years and I fully understand it but what is the standard magnification at determining a coins grade?&nbsp; I would also like to note that the fields (Obv &amp; Rev) on this coin are clean, there are &quot;NO&quot; post mint contact marks or bag marks in them even under high magnification. I have looked at those fields under magnification many times in disbelief and total amazement.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I have collected for many years I am still trying to refine my grading skills which is why I asked for help. I do not have anyone local to me which shares the same interest in coins so everything I know was self taught. I highly appreciate your and others comments even the negative ones as I to refuse to stop learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, That&#039;s a really nice strike on the 1928![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
