<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 907514, member: 11854&quot;]I consider the unintentional manipulation during use or the expected wear and/or aging of a coin to be completely natural and outside the realm of damage.&nbsp; This includes, but would not necessarily be limited to, rim dings, incidental scratches, toning (oxidation) and wear.&nbsp; Damage, in my opinion, is gained through the intentional manipulation of the coin or from use outside the realm that could be expected during its manufacture.&nbsp; This would include drilling a hole into a coin, dipping, artificial toning or other abuse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, I realize that the TPG usage of the term damage is not perfectly consistent with my definition and there are instances where I would reduce how I valued a coin even if it fell under the undamaged definition I have given above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
