[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3143651, member: 92083"]Saw this partial clad layer / lamination. 40% of the layer is gone. I am guessing it was a clam shell that had some help, because there appear to be marks that scratched the core to the right of it. The scratches (if they are in fact scratches) are horizontal and close to the center, which is exactly where you would want to stick a small, flat head screwdriver to insert and then try to lift the clad layer off. Am I way off here in thinking this? And if it really is that obvious, why did PCGS slab it, and/or why wasn't it given a details grade for scratches at least? (Again, maybe they aren't scratches and I am just seeing things, but the upper-most one near the "T" definitely looks like one of all the marks).
