<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 26367396, member: 15309"]The scratches on the cheek and collar are the remnant planchet roughness that [USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER] was talking about. As for the dings on the collar at 11 o'clock, you can't even see them with the naked eye, and even under a 5X loupe, they still disappear at certain angles.</p><p><br /></p><p>It isn't your fault, grading coins from oversized photos can lead to more conservative grading because the tiny imperfections seem so prominent. For sales purposes, the slab photo is instrumental in giving the buyer a better idea of what the surfaces really look like in hand, as well as confirming the grade certification. Alas, in a GTG thread, I can't show the slab photo unless I photoshop the grade out (too lazy).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
