<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1513482, member: 22602&quot;]I don&#039;t have the PCGS book but have a few others (Making the Grade, e.g.). I&#039;m really not asking about carbon for myself. I was wondering if there were specific published guidelines that could be used as reference. I am also looking for opinions from others about how they might dock a coin for carbon (I don&#039;t buy coins with carbon so it&#039;s a moot issue for me). E.g., has anyone had the experience of, say, cracking out a coin with carbon spots, sending it to NCS and then having it regraded?</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize this is hard to talk about hypothetically (as is every other aspect of eye appeal) so my question might not be that answerable. It would be cool to do a side-by-side &quot;quiz&quot; using several coin types, photoshopping out the carbon in the second image of each pair, and seeing how CT members would grade them (but I&#039;m not going to create this quiz <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug, do you have the PCGS book?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
