<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1429541, member: 34005&quot;]Doesn&#039;t matter, a scratch is a scratch is a scratch. You think a TPG would just say &quot;Oh, lots of Ike&#039;s have scratches&quot; and ignore it when grading? If you&#039;re gonna ignore damage (even miniscule damage), then why bother grading it in the first place? If you&#039;re gonna ignore the obvious, then you&#039;re just fooling yourself at that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wipe a coin down with a micro fiber cloth, where it leaves microscopic scratches that are only visible under a loupe or eyepiece under magnification and any real grader will knock down the grade or not grade it at all due to damage. </p><p><br /></p><p>The scratch on this Ike might be &quot;almost non-existent&quot; in hand but that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s still not there and it appears to not be a normal ding from sitting in a bag of other Ike&#039;s. That&#039;s why I still say, it&#039;s damaged and possibly not gradable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
