<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bones-65, post: 8222830, member: 136030&quot;]Being new here I want to be careful and not overreach healthy boundaries, so this is my thinking only (my judgement) nothing more.</p><p>On another forum from time to time we would see someone that would go to far with magnification and start seeing all sorts of minuscule little details, like shapes of mint marks and or numbers that&#039;s nothing more that slight imperfections of surface of the metal. I see lots of made to see mint marks in ebay listings.</p><p>I myself often times go overboard with magnification, but I&#039;m very cautious when I do.</p><p>My rule is if it appears questionable with my naked eye, or say at 3X magnification (my bad eyesight LoL) then I&#039;ll go with say 10X.</p><p>My thinking is, say at 25X or 50X things I&#039;m seeing can be in the realm of imaginary, or even if real is so insignificant that its not going to make it a rare or highly valuable coin.</p><p>Take this example, if Lincoln had say a doubled eyelid, or nose dimple, or whatever that you can&#039;t see at this Magnification, but you can see it at 50X it wouldn&#039;t change its value.</p><p>I had to stop looking to hard LoL!</p><p>About this coin, I recently purchased it for reasons of its reverse details, if you look at just the reverse what coin would you think it is? Don&#039;t look to hard.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1444480[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
