No, or at least it shouldn't.

 

i would say not MD but DDD

 

No it does not.

 

How could it? It happened when they were born.

EDIT: You meant "interfere" and the last "e" didn't make it off the keyboard. I read that real quick as "infer." Anyway, it shouldn't affect the technical grade, which is the condition grade, but it might affect the market grade, which is the money grade.

 

I don't even think DDD affects the grade...except by that point it might be not such a great strike.

 

Yup Possible Weak strike thats why I said DDD I don't think there's anything else besides that as you stated.

 

Nope! The same would be true for a grease & debris-filled die. Take a look at my Kennedy missing the clad layer. It's graded MS64. Be sure to look closely at the obverse. (Click on it to enlarge)

 

Thanks everyone !
