<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 121647, member: 112&quot;]Don&#039;t take this the wrong way, but that&#039;s probably the brightest thing I&#039;ve ever heard ya say. Some folks can study grading their entire life and never learn that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember this - when a grading pro says to use your eyes to grade coins, not a glass, THAT&#039;s (what you just said) the reason. You need to <u>always</u> look at the whole coin. Using a glass tends to make you focus in on common problem areas, and if you do - you&#039;ll miss the obvious.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every coin has prime focal areas and it&#039;s too easy to get lost by just looking at them. You use the focal areas for fine tuning a grade - you use the entire coin to judge it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
