<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 911113, member: 112&quot;]Well to me the market&#039;s theory is not logical. Coins are body bagged for planchet flaws that are beyond minor. Coin grades drop on coins with flaws - contact marks are flaws. Die chips and die cracks are also flaws, they can&#039;t be considered to be anything else. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, they are as struck and thus the coins with these flaws can be considered to be MS. But since other flaws limit the possible grade, these flaws should limit the grade as well. That would be logical.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only time that I would change my mind would be if an entire issue were only known with every example having the same flaws. In other words if every example of a certain date &amp; mint had die cracks, or die chips then I could see the better examples achieving a high grade. But as long as there are examples known that do not have the die cracks, or die chips - then the ones that do should not be treated the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
