<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 42232, member: 824&quot;]From a personal standpoint, if I can&#039;t see it under 5X power, then it really doesn&#039;t interest me.&nbsp; I admire variety collectors that spend hours looking at coins under scopes for the slightest of doubling and other &quot;error&quot; notations.&nbsp; As a cent collector, I have some 1995 DDO&#039;s, but when you look back at the 1972 and 1955...now that clearly is visible! </p><p><br /></p><p>Varieties that can be seen under 10X power or better...well...to me, that is really splitting hairs.&nbsp; Matter of fact, an argument can be made that if you look under 50, 100 or higher power you may find &quot;something&quot; differant from coin to coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that is why all of the press surrounding the Wisconsin quarter which I don&#039;t think was a die gouge.&nbsp; Somebody fooled around at the mint and added a high and low leaf.&nbsp; [Probably had a bet with a co-worker to see if anybody would notice.]&nbsp; Since dies are filed down after their run, we may never know.&nbsp; BUT...isn&#039;t really cool to actually see a variety with the naked eye?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
