<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2064499, member: 112&quot;]I readily agree those are planchet flaws on the rim, and yes I do mean plural. Thing is, planchet flaws, just like post mint damage, are reason for designating a coin as a problem coin, when the planchet flaw is severe enough. And there lies the rub, a subjective question. In my opinion it is definitely severe enough, in NGC&#039;s it obviously is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a couple of things that bother me about that. Early US coinage is given leniency by the TPGs but I don&#039;t believe it should be given leniency. If an issue or problem is bad enough on a coin of a later date for that coin to be a problem coin, then these should be too. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing is the question of severity itself. For example, when it comes to rim dings there is also a question of severity. A single rim dim, if severe enough, garners a coin the problem coin designation. And any coin with a rim ding as bad as this planchet flaw is would be a problem coin. So if it&#039;s severe enough in that case then it should be here too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
