<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 25329821, member: 4920"]They’re idiots, Lehigh. Let me explain to you why. I’ll illustrate on a Morgan silver dollar. When those are minted, typically, they’re presumptively pristine. But look at them. Hardly any escape post-mint luster grazes and coin hits. Those are collateral to the minting process. The minting process is over at that time. They’re due to the bagging. Why aren’t those getting details grades by NGC? These wheel marks are the same thing, except due to the rolling, after bagging. It’s just at the next stage, before the coins are released. Why the luster grazes and coin hits get a pass, but these wheel marks don’t? A lot of the former happens after the bags left the Mint and they’re in transit to the counters and rollers. They happened outside the Mint just like these wheel marks happened. These wheel marks if anything should lower the grade in the same way the luster grazes and coin hits lower the grade, they shouldn’t details the grade, that’s preposterous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
