<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 280187, member: 4552"]As already noted there are way, way to many things that could be noted as damaged. I've seen coins that you would need a really powerful magnifier to see the damage and then there are coins that look like they were bounced on a sidewalf from the top of Sears Tower. Many coins have dents of massively verious amounts due to dropping. Some have holes drilled in them. Some have been used as a target for guns. Some have been used by kids in chem labs. In any attempt to classify damaged coins, it would take an complete encyclopedia to just begin such classifications. Even cleaning is considered damaged. Although a rare coin may have something called damage, if the coin is rare enough, that becomes irrilivant. Imagine a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel with a ding on the rim being called garbage, worthless due to damage. </p><p>As usual "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
