<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2321422, member: 1892&quot;]Although I don&#039;t necessarily disagree with the underlying point, I think these two have &quot;excuses&quot; for what they received. The D&#039;or looks like a serious die/planchet issue - note how it goes all the way to the rim - and one makes allowances for gold so easily receiving scratches in circulation. In-hand, it all may fall on the side of &quot;acceptable circulation artifacts.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The scratches on the 1926 do not have the look of deliberacy to me. Cleaning lines should be heaviest in the open fields, not near the devices - that&#039;s an indicator for die polishing. And some coins just seem to attract scratching - the 1937/38 Australian Crown obverse comes to mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
