<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 6226075, member: 103207&quot;]Graffiti, is as others stated a catch all term.&nbsp; Sometimes slabs will say scratch.</p><p>My own definition is Graffiti is when someone actually scratched something into the surface.&nbsp;&nbsp; It could mean anything from nice engraving which sometimes add interest in the coin such as a child&#039;s birth date to what looks like someone took a nail and carved their name onto a coin.&nbsp; However, I have seen the word Graffiti used when the coin received some form on mechanical scratch.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like from a counting machine or other equipment.&nbsp;&nbsp; That really should be classified as a scratch or bag mark not Graffiti.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think on this Peace dollar Graffiti may be referring to the scratches near her nose area.&nbsp; Those look more like scratches and should have been indicated on the slab not Graffiti.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, I did notice what has been discussed over the word TRUST but, without good pictures all were doing is guessing.&nbsp;&nbsp; There may be nothing wrong with the coin at all just a few bag marks.&nbsp; NGC &amp; PCGS have both made a lot of labeling errors.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do not confuse Graffiti with Counter Stamp that&#039;s something completely different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
