<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 855383, member: 112&quot;]The point is that damaged coins are considered ungradeable. But, as is true with many things when it comes to grading, there are varying degrees of damage. Rim dings, scratches, gouges, and planchet flaws - all of these things can make a coin ungradeable. But it is the severity of the damage that determines if it is ungradeable or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, planchet flaws are given more leeway, leniency if you will, than other forms of damage. But if the planchet flaws are severe enough they too will make a coin ungradeable. In any case, planchet flaws always affect the grade in a negative way. So it is logical to say that if severe enough a planchet flaw will result in no grade at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it is important to note that errors are not considered to be damage. Now I know that may be a hard pill to swallow when you consider things like struck planchet fragments, for they are graded. But they are considered to be different and outside of the damage rule.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
