<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1894444, member: 112&quot;]When it comes to designating a coin as a problem coin the size, location, and severity of the offending marks, hairlines, whatever, are the things taken into consideration. And that&#039;s not just for the TPGs, that&#039;s the ANA standard too. But I believe the TPGs are a bit more lenient than the ANA in a general sense, and definitely more lenient when it comes to certain coins. (this is not one of those coins)</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, based on the pics provided I would not say that this coin should be designated as a problem coin because of that small X by itself. It just isn&#039;t severe enough. But small, light scratches can &amp; do have a cumulative effect. In other words, if there enough of them they can be a valid reason for the coin to be designated as a problem coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the blowup pics I can see another light scratch over by the E. But I can&#039;t see it at all in the full coin pics. And I can just barely see the X in one of the full coin pics. That could be and probably is due to the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, I do not see anything that would make this coin a problem coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
