<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3597566, member: 112&quot;]Scratch damaged coin all the way in my eyes. That one all by itself is enough, but scratches are also cumulative, meaning more than one combined with others, where none of them by themselves are severe enough, when combined they are severe enough to warrant no grade. So on this coin, that one, combined with the scratch behind the head - definitely more than enough ! And there was a time when the TPGs would have seen it that way as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>But those days are gone, in today&#039;s world they are much more lenient, more forgiving, than they ever used to be. And not just when it comes to damage. Even if that scratch was smaller and not as deep, that coin woulda been a 62 at best. And I have little doubt that the toning helped add to the forgiveness and over-grading ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
