<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1299052, member: 112&quot;]Yes, to both - maybe.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said in the other post, not all scratches are equal. For a scratch to make a coin ungradeable that scratch has to be severe enough. It has to be deep enough and long enough (depending what the coin is - meaning a large coin can have larger scratches than a small coin could and still be gradeable), and depending on where the scratch is located on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also need to understand, any scratch still affects the value of the coin - even if the coin is still gradeable. Example - if a given Morgan graded MS64 (with no scratches) is worth $200, then the same date Morgan with a scratch but also graded MS64 might only be worth $150.</p><p><br /></p><p>But now if you took that same coin and you wiped it, it is now only worth about $30 - and it is now ungradeable. So in a way, wiping a coin can be considered to be much worse than the scratch ever was. Depending on the severity of the scratch of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Understand ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
