<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 267288, member: 4552&quot;]As I noted EACH additional mark lowers the value. As to PRE 82 circ cents, just how pre are you referring to? Pre indicates prior to so that means your meaning there is no problem ruining a 72 Double Die, 70S small date, 84 Double Ear and/or as far back as a 14D? Or are you referring to POST 1982 coins meaning it is OK to scratch up 95 Double Dies, wide AM 98 or 99? </p><p>No, any ADDITIONAL markings do not help increase the value of a coin. If you went to a car show and saw a Ferrari in perfect condition worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and it had one small scratch on it, would that mean people should add more scratches to it now? If there was a scratch on the Mona Lisa Painting, would it then be OK to add more? If the Mints machines add on scratch to a coin, should we all add many more? Makes little sence to ruin things further since it has already started by others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
