<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aslpride, post: 1498436, member: 36954&quot;]I have four questions to ask. </p><p><br /></p><p>First question is on the title of this thread. I can&#039;t find any good images reference to explain the different between hairlines and contact marks. Official ANA grading Standards did explained the details on contact marks, but very brief detail on hairlines that consider as scratches, too. It&#039;s critical for me to understand the different between those two&nbsp; categories that will help me better understand the grading system. I wonder if you have images that explained the different between those two categories?</p><p><br /></p><p>Second question: I need a really good site with image details on prime and secondary focal coins. Official ANA Grading Standards did included some coins with prime and secondary focal images, but not for all coins. If I can understand the prime and secondary focal on all coins, then I will able to analysis a coin with an accurate grade. Do you know any site that offered details on prime and secondary focal for all or most coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>Third question: How can you create an avatar with clean image of coin? I have photoshop CS5. I did resized from a snapshot image to a specific setting stated in this forum, but you can see my avatar with fuzzy image of my coin. Many of you did show your avatar with really sharp image of coin that looks cool. Any tips?</p><p><br /></p><p>Fourth question: A eBay seller keep selling the rainbow coins. I bought three coins from him, but I was concern if his rainbow coins are authentic toned? I know I should ask you guys first before buying those coins, but his feedback is very high with no negative. That’s a reason why I bought three coins from him. However, what bother me is his constant listing the rainbow coins without any other varieties. I would like to know your opinion if his coins is a real thing or I am being a sucker as others? His ebay store link...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/haleyschevy/m.html?_ipg&amp;_from&amp;_nkw&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_sop=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/haleyschevy/m.html?_ipg&amp;_from&amp;_nkw&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_sop=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/haleyschevy/m.html?_ipg&amp;_from&amp;_nkw&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_sop=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your time to read my questions and hope you have some answers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
