<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 462549, member: 5233&quot;]I don&#039;t like it.&nbsp; The reason is that I feel that damage to a coin is somewhat undefinable in the impact it actually has on the coin.&nbsp; We can all look at a coin and say it grades &quot;X&quot;...but how many points are deducted for a harsh cleaning, 10, 15?&nbsp; Grading is subjective to begin with...now were adding a subjective deduction to an already subjective grading standard.&nbsp; So, I think it&#039;s hard to really put a grade value on the damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I prefer is to give the coin a details grade and state it is damaged in some way.&nbsp; That way all coins are graded the same and problem coins are noted for that.&nbsp; Then, the extent the damage hurts the grade is solely up to the owner/purchaser.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit: I must admit that I made my post before I read Lehigh&#039;s...so I&#039;m sorry for basically repeating what he said.&nbsp; lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
