<p>[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2426018, member: 77413"]If the image is good, and you see a scratch, look for a shadow of it on the coin. If you see a shadow in the proper position, then you know the holder is scratched and not the coin. If there are two photos you can check if the mark is in the same place relative to the coin features. Also, if a scratch is on the plastic it will be continuous and even, and not affected by the surface contours as when something runs across a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
