For example, a coin cab be scratched and it will still cleanly grade. It&#039;s always a question of just how severe that scratch is. However, if it&#039;s big enough, and deep enough, in relation to the size of the coin in question, or sometimes if there is more than one scratch, it will not cleanly grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the same kind of thing with verdigris - present or removed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
