<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 974507, member: 112&quot;]Now as you can see, some of those planchets had some really heavy &amp; deep marks on them too. But you get to see part of the coin at the same time. And every one of them, because they were struck off center, were very weakly struck. Much more so weakly struck than an ordinary coin would have been. This is because only part of the metal was inside the dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the really weird part is - even though those coins were very weakly struck, and the planchet marks were quite heavy, there doesn&#039;t seem to be any left over planchet marks on the struck portions of the coins - any of them !</p><p><br /></p><p>So where did they go ? </p><p><br /></p><p>I submit to you that this supports my contention that these marks we are constantly being told on high grade coins are left over planchet marks - are not left over planchet marks at all. Because if they were, we&#039;d be seeing them on these off center errors. And we are most definitely not seeing them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I have said all along - this is just an excuse that has come from someplace, or somebody for assigning high grades to coins that don&#039;t deserve the high grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
