<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2492359, member: 70703&quot;]I get that this is a possibility, but is there a way to tell the difference between a planchet mark and a post minting scratch/ding/gouge?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen this discussed several times and it always seems to be a way to explain away fairly obvious grade limiting marks on a clad coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI I&#039;m at 66, only because it&#039;s not really worth buying anything *less* than a straight graded 66 clad Washington. Being in a holder and the coin looking like it does in the pics, it&#039;s my guesstimate based on deductive reasoning. To be honest the OPs coin looks like 90% of the late 80s and 90s examples that I have still in mint cello.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want that to come across as putting the OP or his coin down in any way, obviously the coin spoke to them and that&#039;s what it&#039;s all about. I&#039;m just trying to learn the attributes and nuances of the clad Washingtons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
