<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2695944, member: 112&quot;]The reason I ask kanga is that grading a coin with magnification is a mistake. In many if not most cases it will cause the grader to over account for flaws such as contact marks, minor scratches, and the like. Thus ending up with the coin being under-graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why when grading a coin one should only use their eyes, no magnification. Yes, use glasses if you wear glasses, but do not use magnification, not even 2x. 95% of all grading done by professionals is done with the naked eye - nothing more. </p><p><br /></p><p>So given what you said above, I suspected that you might be using magnification for grading. And I strongly suspect THAT is what is causing you to under-grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
