<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 172200, member: 112&quot;]You&#039;re misunderstanding something, or else PCGS misunderstood your question. Yes, dents or rim dings do matter when it comes to grade. They do not matter as much in the lower MS grades as they do in the higher MS grades, but they absolutely matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, a coin with no sign of wear but lots of hairlines, bag marks and a few rim dings can be graded as MS60 to MS62 depending on the severity of the marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if a coin has no bag marks, no hairlines, no rim dings has nearly full strike and excellent luster - it will probably be graded as MS67 and maybe MS68. But take that very same coin and put one small rim ding on it, or one small dent on the surface, and I guarantee you it won&#039;t grade higher than MS65.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, dents and rim dings do matter when it comes to grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
