Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 686037, member: 9270"]Here's the label from the coin in question: <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/25-1932d-Scr-x.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I asked ANACS two questions. QUESTION 1: Does the term "SCRATCHED" mean:a. there's damage to the coin that is not attributed to an attempted cleaning, but just to mishandling, ORb. there's damage to the coin that could be attributed to mishandling or cleaning but it cannot be determined which? RESPONSE: "The Scratched designation is not related to cleaning.It simply means that there are one or more noticeable scratches on the coin." MY COMMENT: Good answer because it's clear what it means. QUESTION 2: Does the grade "EF 45" mean:a. the grade takes into account the damage (final grade = EF 45), ORb. the coin would grade "EF 45" except for the damage (final grade = something less than EF 45)? RESPONSE: "The grade is not a net grade. It is, as you put it, the final grade." MY COMMENT: I'm still confused.If I put this coin up for sale do I price it as if it were EF 45?Or do I price it as something lower?I think(?) in it's current condition it is EF 45, and if it weren't for the scratches it would be AU.Obviously the easy way out is to list it with good images and let the buyer decide. OPINIONS?[/QUOTE]
