A block is located within the recess and is movable longitudinally along the entire length of the recess. Upon the block is to be located the coin which is to be graded. This coin is capable of being positioned directly adjacent each specimen. The observer can then accurately determine the precise wear level of this coin. The block is maintained in continuous contact with the recess through the use of a ridge and groove assembly.
