Will this work well for coin grading??

yes and no. I use it to help on some coins which are borderline but as you may be aware, silver coins often have such a brilliant reflective surface that the built in light can be too intense. In those cases, I recommend turning the light off (there is a switch) and using background lighting. Fortunately, it connects to most computers with a usb cable and allows you to take pictures. I find that the photos allow you to grade coins better than the "live" picture since most photo programs will allow you to manipulate contrast, etc. to make a better call. I use mine primarily for mineral identification and it is superb. yes and no.

As an educator myself (disabled right now), I think this could be a great tool for grading papers. It's a very sturdy piece. I think you'll enjoy it.

No it doesn't have to preformed, but they does work better than the flat coin wrappers. I suggest letting the machine doing the count then empty the coin tubes into the wrappers

Yes, it works for new and used currency. These counters have saved us tons of time and are very accurate.

Yes, it will work. I just tested it on some small kitchen items like spoons/measuring cups and I am able to get a reading as small as 0.1 pounds

Yes it will. Once you insert the paper wrappers into each plastic coin tube and slide the tube back into the sorter press the start button and it will fill the paper wrapper with the exact amount of coins then advance the slide out to the next tube and fill it. This will occur for each denomination of coins.

Yes, using the correct grade of paper you should have no problem. This is a great tool. The charge lasts longer on the lower setting. Hope this helps. Judie

not sure. Don't know much about the grading of stainless steel. either it is, or it is not, stainless steel. sorry, i'm not of much help. :/

Yes it works very good. Just make sure you have good stable wrappers that don't bend at the top when the coins drop.

The quality is pretty good. Here is an example of a 1986 U.S. penny. - https://www.flickr.com/photos/64850876@N03/8575748575/in/set-72157633049776940

It is possible. But I use magic eraser on lots of old coins...silver....from an old family collection and it was safe and easy. You can use a silver polishing cloth if you want to be very safe. I never tried this but you could try it on some regular coins to see the result. Good luck.

I'm extremely far from being an expert on coin grading. VF=Very Fine, AU=Almost Uncirculated. Cull is the same as slider, a circulated coin with handeling marks. Your best bet is to google coin grading. Not only will you get all the terms explained but you'll get examples to bounce them off of.

This will work perfect. You simply increase the distance between the object and the lens until your stamp or coin fills the whole screen (or whatever portion you desire). It is perfect for making a full screen sized stamp or coin. With the lens touching a stamp, for example, you could see the paper fibers individually.. pull them apart and it will in effect, zoom out.

yes it will. However, it does not add (or know) the bills denomination . It just counts the number of bills.It will "add" which is a running count of the number of bills ran through and it will "batch" for example set it for 100 and it will count number of bills to 100 then stop so you can sort.

It has a magnet on the tip. I don't know if that will work on coins. Should pick up paper money ok.

I have one of these, and any preformed coin tubes work. This is a good product
