<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2436922, member: 112&quot;]If the coin is scratched, yes of course it&#039;s damaged. And no it doesn&#039;t matter if that scratch was imparted to the coin&nbsp; - at the Mexico City mint by a mint employee, after it left the mint, at the London mint by a mint employee, or after it left that mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, a scratch and the counter-mark are two entirely different things. One is always damage, and the other is always not damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people are of the mistaken idea that just because damage is imparted to a coin at the mint and by a mint employee - that it is not damage. But this is incorrect. Any damage that is imparted to the coin after is has been struck -&nbsp; by anyone at any time in anyplace - is always damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it is that very concept that answers all the what-ifs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
