A single scratch, if deemed to be severe enough, can and will keep a coin from being graded at all, let alone MS. Multiple scratches, meaning 2 or more, can be less severe but because there is more than 1 can also keep a coin from being graded. But in all cases, regardless of the number of scratches, it is always a matter of severity that determines if the coin is to be designated as a problem coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And when a coin has many light or minor scratches, they are not designated as being scratches, though in reality that&#039;s what they are. Instead the coin is usually designated as having been harshly cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
