[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2964686, member: 15929"]It really depends upon how obvious the scratch might be. I had an IKE Dollar that I purchased off of Teletrade that, upon closer examination, had an "X" scratched into the reverse. It was a 1971 that was graded at MS65 which, at the time, was a several hundred dollar coin. $240 specifically.
