    thank you, but I was looking to actually see where on the coin if it was high lighted in color to show where exactly is the highest point of each coin is. ???

    You can see that from looking at the AU examples in the grading link that Inquisitive provided :)

    I guess somebody has yet to make a Canadian-coin version of Making the Grade by Beth Deisher and Michael Fahey. I'd like to make that same book, but on S. Korean coins.

    Information on high-relief areas of Canadian coins has got to be around somewere.

    As far as I know there's not even a website like that for US coins, let alone any others. As for books, the ANA grading book probably comes closest of any single book for showing high points, but even it doesn't show the high points for all coins, only for some of them. And they use arrows, not colors. But there may be some specialty books out there that show them for a single, specific series.

    Question, does the book show actual high points of the coins, or rather does it show prime and secondary focal areas for grading purposes ?

    According to the description at Amazon:
    "Design high points are highlighted to indicate areas of wear. Visual impairment severity levels are identified by color maps."
    http://www.amazon.com/Making-The-Grade-Grading-Collected/dp/0944945554
    I find this book very intriguing, and makes me want to collect US stuff more often!

    This is what my book shows for Seated Halves:

    Ahh, so it shows both. Very good ! I see the 3rd edition now covers 80 coins instead of just the 50 most popular.

    Time to contact the "Canadian Numismatic Association" (if that's what it's called) and ask about grading standards for Canadian coins. There HAS to be grading standards book for Canadian coins (one that has the little arrows pointing out the high points?). There are far too many Canadian collectors out there for there NOT to be.

    Lol; No offense @mlov43
    I just finished reading a story in Canadian Coin News about Charles (Chuck) Moore who passed away a few weeks ago and helped get the 'Royal' added to the official name.
