<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevinfred, post: 1239149, member: 26201&quot;]Despite my friends insistence that I stay away from the grading aspect of the hobby, I&#039;m deeply entrenched.&nbsp; I find it very interesting, and important from a financial point of view.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Question 1:&nbsp; While comparing a RAW Morgan and a PCGS MS-63 Morgan, with the naked eye the two coins look identical.&nbsp;&nbsp; I found under 8x power there are a number of marks on the cheek/face of the RAW coin - I would say a few more than the PCGS coin.&nbsp; Do I account for these small marks in the grade?&nbsp; Where do you &#039;draw the line&#039; so to speak?&nbsp; Even the graded coins have small little marks on them...</p><p><br /></p><p>Question 2:&nbsp; Is there a good book that explains the <u>objective</u> instructions on how to grade?&nbsp; i.e.&nbsp; point loss for this, point add for that, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
