<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1410507, member: 112&quot;]While I understand your reasoning for that comment, I disagree. here&#039;s why.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your reasoning is that because the doubling is on the die that it should not affect the grade. But what about things like rust on the die ? That damages the die, thus it creates a flaw on the coin. Or things like die gouges or die scratches, those things also damage the die. Or die cracks, or die chips, or die breaks, or even excessive die polish marks - those things without a doubt damage the die. And in every single case the dies impart that same damage (in mirror effect) to the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So imagine, you have two coins that are equal in regard to luster, contact marks or the lack thereof, quality of strike (in a general sense), eye appeal (again in a general sense), hairlines or the lack thereof, - but one of the coins has a die crack or a die scratches. </p><p><br /></p><p>Should those 2 coins be graded the same ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Since one of the coins has a flaw that the other does not have, I would have to say that they cannot be graded the same. Nor should they be. To do otherwise defies all logic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
