<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1153139, member: 68&quot;]I would expect the services to go a little easier on shallow wide scrapes especially on the &#039;80-D but it still will lower the grade.&nbsp; It takes about 700 1980 mint sets to to find one solid gem Denver half because of this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen a true superb gem.&nbsp;&nbsp; Roll coins come without the scrapes but tend to have strike, surface, and marking issues.&nbsp;&nbsp; A lot of the coins graded gem for this date may well come from rolls.&nbsp; There are runs of the other denominations in the &#039;80 set with scrapes but it affects a small percentage except with the Denver half.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
