<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1032638, member: 112&quot;]Well let me put it this way. Say there is a coin that regularly sells for $2k in a given grade. Now put one of the same up for sale, but this time the coin has a prominent die crack. There are a great many collectors who would only offer half the normal price for the coin with the die crack. Die cracks are quite often seen as flaws even though they do not count against the grade according to grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same thing goes for things like die gouges, large tool marks, die scratches and excessive flow lines. The thing that typically has the least affect on price for descriminating collectors are die polish lines.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;ll grant you, average collectors pay little heed to any of these kind of things. They are instead more readily influenced by the grade on the slab. But descriminating collectors certainly pay attention to them. And they do so with their wallets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
