<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2553910, member: 112&quot;]All aspects of a coin are supposed to count when it comes to grading coins - including whether the coin is well centered or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have 2 coins, one has some hairlines and one does not, all other aspects are equal. Which one should grade higher ? Answer - the one without the hairlines.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing with contact marks, location of contact of contact marks, rim dings, scratches, quality of luster, quality of strike, breaks in the luster, spots, - every single thing you can think of - if all other aspects are equal but that one, then the coin without the issue or that is better than the other coin in that regard - grades higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing with centering. And centering is mentioned as a grading criteria in the ANA standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>But granted, the primary issue between the two coins is the corrosion on the rim of the one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
