<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AngelKitty, post: 1470975, member: 37889&quot;]I&#039;m no grading expert, but MS coins can have what&#039;re known as &quot;bag marks&quot; - that is, scratches or dings generated from being in contact with other freshly minted coins when being dumped into bags for distribution. I&#039;ve got an MS-63 Peace dollar with bag marks on it that I posted <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t206882/#post1449552" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t206882/#post1449552">here</a>; you can&#039;t see them too well in the picture but trust me, it&#039;s got quite a few of them. The rim damage on that coin is likely the same thing. Even if you look on <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/" rel="nofollow">this site</a> (a great site if you&#039;re trying to learn what different grades look like!), you&#039;ll see MS coins with similar marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that&#039;s helpful![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
