Even if you dip a coin with carbon spots you&#039;ll either still see the spot or at the least see where it was.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not really. Spots are a lot like contact marks when it comes to grading. They count more against the grade if they are in prime focal areas, and less so when they are not. And like with contact marks, the degree of severity with spots also matters. Smaller spots can count less against the grade and larger count more.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, you should too. EVERYONE should own that book ! And you should also own the ANA grading book. They are the two best books there are written on grading. Sure other books are helpful, I always recommend that people own every book on grading that they can get. But none of them have the info those 2 books have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
