<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1074788, member: 112&quot;]Regarding the glass - 95% of all grading is done with the naked eye. And when grading nothing stronger than 5x is used. Stronger magnification is only used when it is needed to examine some tiny detail that you are unsure of such as verifying authenticity or trying to pin down a variety. Using too much magnification will cause you to under-grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 2nd coin, yes it is more worn. I would say VF 20 details. And it too looks to have been harshly cleaned. As to it having a better surface area, I&#039;d say no, that they are about the same. The difference to me would be that this has retoned after its harsh cleaning and because of that it looks better when it really is not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
