<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1627077, member: 112&quot;]As for the grade, NGC obviously found it acceptable. But there really is no way to know if they (NGC) considered it a planchet defect or a rim ding. We only know they found it acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you can see the coin in hand, you can often tell the difference yourself. Rim dings will usually have sharp and sometimes even jagged edges. And sometimes there will even be raised metal around them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Planchet defects do have this. Their edges tend to be smoother, rounded over, because of the metal flow when the coin is struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>A rim bruise or an edge bruise is different than either of these. They look more like dents from the coin being dropped on it&#039;s edge. Because of that they are easier to define and detect. But they are usually treated in the same way that rim dings are by the TPGs when it comes to grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rim/edge dings and bruises always affect the grade in a negative manner, regardless of severity. And if they are judged sever enough, which is very subjective, they can even result in the coin being put in a details/genuine slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
