Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 3552609, member: 24314"]Sorry.  This coin is no longer in an album.  Since it was not yours, I don't know how you can claim the coin has slide marks.  All I see is a slightly damaged obverse and a reflection of light (bright lines) on the surface.  When a coin is toned as this, ALMOST ANYTHING can disturb its surface including sliding it on a pad in a TPGS as it is being slabbed!  Pressure is involved.  Slides don't create pressure. Now, I suggest rather than opinionate (I thought I just made up this word but spell check let it go <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) let's all try to scratch up some coins.  MAKE SURE THE COIN IS NOT CENTERED IN THE HOLE to improve your chances 100%.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> PS cardboard debris does not scratch coins!  Over time it can discolor them.[/QUOTE]
