<p>[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 573846, member: 17919"]I wouldn't call that a scratch on the 1829-- I'd call it a gouge, since it digs into the design. The illustration in the Overton book for O-112 does not show such a gouge, so I will assume that it was made after the coin left the mint. In my opinion, that would reduce the grade by one level, at least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
