<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 975828, member: 3726&quot;]We aren&#039;t arguing, but just discussing the relevance of off-center strikes to explain planchet marks during the striking process and post mint hits.&nbsp; Personally I think a little of both yours and dougs explaination fills the gap for me.&nbsp; I agree that usually you can tell the difference between a hit and a planchet mark.&nbsp; Now the question is how do they effect the grade?&nbsp; To me Pauls two pictures of nickels were a good example the first should grade higher than the second in my mind.&nbsp; Not that they could be the same technical grade - but to me the second with the hits would be 1 or 2 grades less than the first.&nbsp; Then you throw the tpg&#039;s into the mix and it makes it more complicated - at least to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>A fun discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
