<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 1513297, member: 4920"]There aren't any specific guidelines on it. There's a big general guideline, though. To even begin to get a sense of it, you have to get your head out of the books and put it back on the coin. I tell that to the YNs in my kid's coin club all the time, and they're crackerjacks at knowing how and when to deduct for these kinds of things. All you have to do is think, "eye movement through the coin." Change that carbon spot to a beautiful, bright red, tarnish spot. Do you see it, now? Your eye still doesn't move naturally through the coin but keeps being tugged back to that spot. It's the distracting nature of the spot that affects the grade by throwing off your natural eye movement through the coin. The more the spot stands out, the worse it is. The more it blends in, the better it is. That's an analysis only you can make when offering to buy or sell on the market, but it's the factor you focus on, and you won't go wrong. You'll rather get good at it, the more you do it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best I can offer to tell you; hope it helps...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
