[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 402092, member: 13987"]When they (ANA) says minuscule, it must mean to the naked eye, because they differentiate between hairlines that are visible to the naked eye, and ones that are not. My question is, what do the mean by minuscule? Is it something you can see? If so for MS 66 it says a few minuscule contact marks can be in prime focal areas. I guess I just assumed that large and distracting (like marks I have seen on 64's), seem to obvious indentations to them. The way I would describe those marks are like tiny gouges. Sometimes they also appear as what I would describe as looking like ball point pen stabs. To me marks like that are large and distracting especially when on a cheeck, close to an eye, or on the nose. Honestly though, I would like to know what you think is meant by major distracting, or large distracting, as this would help me better to understand what I should be looking for.[/QUOTE]
