<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2304880, member: 112&quot;]OK, then ask yourself this. You have 2 dies, one of them suffers from die scratches, (which is what causes the die produced hairlines on the coins), one of them does not. Die scratches of course are not supposed to be there, they are by definition, damage to the die and thus flaws in the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, coins are struck with these 2 dies. The coins are of equal quality in every way - except for those die caused hairlines on the 1 coin. Should those 2 coins be graded exactly the same ? </p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to this question can&#039;t be anything else but - no. The 1 without the die caused hairlines has to be graded higher than the other for that is the very nature of grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
