<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2333046, member: 24314&quot;]Excellent point <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...the opposite side of a counter stamped, chopped, or SEVERELY damaged coin will often show this effect (smushed out design or field *).&nbsp; However, in the case of minor, &quot;micro damage&quot; that will not be the case.&nbsp; If the &quot;smush&quot; was on anything BESIDES the &quot;S&quot; on this coin, no one would care or even see it.&nbsp; Also, as you point out, the &quot;damage&quot; on the &quot;O&quot; is not significant.&nbsp; In fact, no one should consider it other than normal wear and tear.&nbsp;&nbsp; Furthermore, I&#039;ll bet my posting privilege on CT <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />: <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">but only for the rest of the day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </span>) that the other side of the OP&#039;s coin is normal!</p><p><br /></p><p>Problem I often see (REMEMBER - all posts are MY OPINION) on CT is everything gets exaggerated.&nbsp; Posters wish to call &quot;everything&quot; cleaned or PMD.&nbsp; Coins get wear and tear as they circulate... the more circulation they receive, the less SOME hairlines, cuts, scratches, rim hits, damage matters.</p><p><br /></p><p>*I&#039;ve posted micrographs of both sides of a very small &quot;punch mark&quot; that flattened the reverse very little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
