<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3076933, member: 112&quot;]No disrespect intended - none at all. But do ya know what that sounds like to me ? It sounds like the idea that wear caused by this or that doesn&#039;t matter and thus has no effect on the grade of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wear is wear, no matter what causes it. Just like contact marks are contact marks, no matter what makes them. Scratches are scratches no matter what causes them. And flaws of any kind, no matter what causes them are still flaws. And all flaws have to have a negative impact om the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>And if a die is flawed then the coins it produces are flawed too. Just like a great die produces great coins - the opposite also has to be true.</p><p><br /></p><p>To say that they don&#039;t, claim that they don&#039;t, believe that they don&#039;t, or even pretend that they don&#039;t - well that&#039;s nothing but choosing to ignore something because you want your coins to grade higher than they deserve to be graded - by all the rules of grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
