[QUOTE="ToddB67, post: 3324701, member: 18134"]GDJMSP, Thanks for your last reply, very informative, and I agree that a project to record Coin Hairline and Scratch sizes and features, and to be fair and complete cover all the other types of imperfections you mentioned, it certainly would not fit the description of "practical" in most opinions! :rolleyes: However, In my next paragraph with quotes I was just trying to make the point that in the world of Science there seems to be no limit to the extent people will go to [I][COLOR=#0000ff]do what hasn't been done before[/COLOR][/I] and then get it published in some journal devoted to the intelligentsia. Seems like the results of such a project would be out there in cyberspace somewhere if only the Link creators would modify their program algorithms to focus and respond to search words that best describe the subject and intent of a search statement or query instead of always trying to sell us something, but of course there's no money for them in doing that....hump ! "With the plethora of technical information available on a vast panorama of subjects, I wonder why this has not been done already and at least briefly covered in the Red Books ? " Re your comment "OR - you could keep it simple, and practical, and simply have someone with the required experience do all of these things in about 5 seconds flat", well since I'm retired on low income, do you think someone with the experience and professional microscopic equipment would do it for me Free ? I doubt it, even if I had a valuable coin that I wanted inspected, which I don't at the moment. Maybe a browser or member reading this thread will know of a source where I can obtain the desired information for statement #1 in post #1 and will be kind enough to post it in this thread. You have already answered my statement #2 in your post #8....5x is the answer! Science is one of my favorite subjects, so I like to save information relative to one of my particular interests in that field for reference when doing study work or to include in a future post. Kudos to those who like finite detail, otherwise Neil never would have stepped on the surface of the moon and we might never make it to Mars sometime in the future ! BTW, in a previous occupation I had the pleasure of shaking Neil's hand and since he was one of my hero's, I was shaking in my boots at the time ! :shy: LOL ToddB67[/QUOTE]
