<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2805480, member: 37839&quot;]I appreciate your pleasant and positive response disagreeing with me, as opposed to someone who won&#039;t check his attitude at the door.&nbsp; Sure, they were shoveled into wheelbarrows, and jammed into mint bags.&nbsp; Major contact was often made, and this would result in bag marks and some scratches. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I think we can all agree that the 1897 has major rim damage.&nbsp; The other two are judgement calls.&nbsp; My view on a coin detailed for damage is: How prominent and disfiguring is the damage?&nbsp; In the case of the other two, I feel that the rim knocks are significant enough to possibly be a details coins.&nbsp; A scratch across the face of the obverse that is prominent would make it a details coin.&nbsp; If the eagle&#039;s feathers are bisected by major scratches, that is a details coin to me.&nbsp; Significant rim damage falls into the same category.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not own any of the three due to significant damage.&nbsp; Perhaps, a TPG might let them slide, taking off 1-2 grades.&nbsp; As for me, I feel they are significant distractions that equal &quot;no grade.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
