<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 343487, member: 11521&quot;]The larger gold coins generally have more contact marks than the smaller gold coins because they are larger and heavier. When they fell into the hopper after being minted, when they were bagged, when the bags were handled, etc. there was a greater probability one coin would leave a mark on another coin it came into contact with. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have heard that graders give more leeway to the larger gold coins because of this. So a $10 or $20 gold coin with that few number of marks would grade higher than the $2 1/2 shown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
