<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 267242, member: 4552"]Just go to any coin store or coin show. Look at coins with scratches and you'll see a massive reduction in value. Check out any price guide. You'll notice that at the normal low grades the prices go upward gradually but when you hit the MS grades, the values sky rocket. Each scratch, mark, dent lowers the price. Those machines all do a little and the more machines the more the scratches. Sort of like dragging your fingernails across the Mona Lisa Oil Painting. If your not a coin collector, who cares. But if your are a coin collector you try to obtain the highest qualtiy coin available and if people continuously run coins through such machines, the amount of high grade coins continuously deminishes. Sort of like throwing rocks at a 1957 Chevy. There are only so many out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
