<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1949100, member: 29751&quot;]Our argument, if I recall, was that for a gouge on a coin to be the size of what looked like a staple scratch, the shovel would have had to be ground to a point or sharpened.&nbsp; That didn&#039;t seem too likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>My original statement still stands -- what you circled looks like a small hairline disturbance or break of luster/ bag mark for the coin posted here.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t look anything like a &quot;wiped&quot; coin.&nbsp; Especially considering you can see the full frost/luster on the cheek is intact outside of this very small anomalous area.&nbsp; Coins I have seen that have been &quot;wiped&quot; don&#039;t look anything like this.&nbsp; What could a coin possibly be &quot;wiped&quot; with that would manifest as two extremely thin lines and no other issues?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
