<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 715625, member: 13650&quot;]Say a person had a gorgeous, rarer, MS Franklin half with amazing luster in a 2x2 that would easily grade MS-64, maybe a 65.&nbsp; Great eye appeal, no spots or stains.&nbsp; Fresh from a roll. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Now, say said person was removing a very small, tight staple from that 2x2 and the point of the knife they were using slipped on the glossy cardboard and put a hairline scratch in the reverse field at 10 o&#039;clock, about 1/4&quot; long.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not deep, but a single hairline scratch on the luster.&nbsp; &nbsp; Otherwise, it&#039;s still like a freshly minted coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Would a TPG still grade this and how would this affect the grade.&nbsp; What would the grade become?&nbsp;&nbsp; If the coin was at least a MS-64 originally?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; This hypothetical situation and imaginary person will remain nameless, since they themselves may have heard stories such as this from people in the past, and may have thought on occasion, &quot;What kind of moron could do that!?&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Lets just stick to the questions at hand here and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
