<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 943346, member: 17557&quot;]Well a few things.</p><p><br /></p><p>First with your details graded coin, just keep it in the plastic. It does affect the coin&#039;s value, it is damaged. Don&#039;t crack it out, and definitely do not clean it yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, altered color can mean artificially toned. Meaning chemicals, heat, or other elements were put to the coin, by human, to create coloring that isn&#039;t natural to the coin. When a coin is dipped, the color can be affected, but rarely does and will it warrant &#039;altered&#039; color from a TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third, scratches and marks are two different things. Surface marks are just that, on the surface, and they are caused from typical circulation. Scratches are considered damage, they are deeper than the surface, no grade of coin should have deep scratches, just because the coin is Fine, doesn&#039;t mean it should have scratches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
