<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 968582, member: 2972&quot;]Here is PCGS&#039;s definition of the term:</p><p><br /></p><p>adjustment marks</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Pre-striking file marks</b> seen mainly on gold and silver coins prior to 1840. These removed excess metal from overweight planchets. After 1840 these are seldom seen as the filing was on the rim and was usually obliterated by the striking process.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/lingo.chtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/lingo.chtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/lingo.chtml</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
