[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3030210, member: 112"]The simple answer to your question is - you can't, it's impossible. And in simple point of fact - it doesn't matter how scratches or contact marks, or even wear got there on the coin. It doesn't matter what caused them. When you are grading a coin the one and only thing that matters is they are there ! That they are present on the coin. Of course the TPGs would have you believe otherwise for that is the very premise of their grading practices and how they explain coins being graded much higher than they deserve to be graded. In other words they want people to believe that contact marks, scratches, wear caused by this or by that - don't matter, don't count - because they are somehow different than contact marks, scratches, and wear caused by other things. The truly sad part is - people actually buy into this nonsense ![/QUOTE]
