<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1895154, member: 41863&quot;]Where is this standard explained? I just purchased the ANA grading book that you suggested, where can I locate the information regarding this topic in it, I havent seen much of anything about this, maybe I am looking in the wrong places.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, in hand, the marks are noticeable, so how severe is that? What determines the size cut off both in measures of depth and in length? 3mm long, 5mm long, or is it 3mm on a quarter if its on the reverse, and 5 mm if it is on a quarter and on the obverse? What about depth? </p><p><br /></p><p>Who determines prime focal points on a coin? I can understand a scratch being &#039;lost&#039; between letters of a legend or something like that, so I really do understand a bit on how these calls are made, and I am truly trying to understand better. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there somewhere out there I can find this information? I mean some focal points are quite obvious, I may be wrong, but where this scratch is located would be a fairly prime location, again in my eyes. It is right between 2 major reverse design elements, the eagle and the ribbon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
