<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 3459120, member: 2098&quot;]This is done entirely so searchers will know if they&#039;re receiving coins they have already been through. This practice has been shown to be highly volatile and controversial on other forums where you have members on them who mark coins like this. The ones who don&#039;t mark them yet find such coins have had full-blown arguments about it to the point discussing the subject is forbidden on some other coin-related forums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Part of the problem lies with the blatant and selfish disregard for the coins that receive these marks as some collectors find some marked coins that would have otherwise been desirable to them. Examples include proofs, 1987 P&amp;D halves, errors, varieties, and clad from other desirable years (such as ones from &#039;82 and &#039;83) that would have otherwise been in a high grade of condition. Thankfully, CoinTalk has largely avoided such volatile interactions amongst its members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
