<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 925723, member: 24633"]When I was searching Mint bags for high-grade business strikes, I would use a 10x loupe to weed out the obvious ones, first. Then, I would use the stereomicroscope to weed out any fair-sized marks in the devices. Finally, I used the microscope to eliminate any with smaller marks in the prime focal areas of the devices. This worked very well for me. About 25% of my submissions would come back MS68 and the rest would usually be MS67.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
