<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1409851, member: 15309&quot;]Frankly, in order for NGC to grade this coin, they would need historical precedent that coins minted during this era from Denmark still showed adjustment marks.&nbsp; Either that or the lines are not as severe as they appear in the photo and are actually planchet striations which are known on these coins.&nbsp; Either way, they had to have a damn good reason to put it in one of their slabs given it&#039;s obvious condition and your assumption that they screwed up wreaks of arrogance considering that all you have seen is a crappy photo of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fnewnames%2f300%2f5%2f9%2f2%2f1%2f5921225.jpg%5d%2ccontinueonerror%5btrue%5d&amp;scale=size%5b450x2000%5d%2coptions%5blimit%5d&amp;source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fwebuse%2fno_image_available.gif%5d%2cif%5b%28%27global.source.error%27%29%5d&amp;sink=preservemd%5btrue%5d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fnewnames%2f300%2f5%2f9%2f2%2f1%2f5921227.jpg%5d%2ccontinueonerror%5btrue%5d&amp;scale=size%5b450x2000%5d%2coptions%5blimit%5d&amp;source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fwebuse%2fno_image_available.gif%5d%2cif%5b%28%27global.source.error%27%29%5d&amp;sink=preservemd%5btrue%5d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Roller%20Marks/Denmark20KronerRev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your whole argument boils down to your contention that no mint in the world used the practice of manually adjusting planchet weights in the year 1900.&nbsp; And we should believe you simply because you say so?&nbsp; Perhaps if you could provide a supporting reference to support your claim, then we could give more credence to your assertion.&nbsp; I understand the need for adjustment marks and the technological advancements in the minting process that made them unnecessary in the mid 1800&#039;s.&nbsp; But I can&#039;t conclusively say that these technological advancements were adopted by every mint, including the Danish mint in Copenhagen.&nbsp; And if they were, then the new technological advancement would bring the possibility of planchet striations into play.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I don&#039;t believe the lines are adjustment marks.&nbsp; I think they are roller marks, or planchet striations, or whatever terminology you would like to use, but I do think they lines are mint made and not PMD.&nbsp; The lines appear to perfectly parallel to my eyes in order to call them adjustment marks.&nbsp; The fact that NGC saw this coin in hand and determined the lines to be mint made speaks volumes IMO.&nbsp; BTW, what do you propose in the course of PMD is responsible for creating such perfectly parallel lines on only one side of the coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
