[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 904462, member: 112"]You're reaching Mark - but you just can't quite get there. Can you honestly tell me that [I]"minor and few", [/I]even by itself let alone when coupled with this additional guidance - [I]On larger coins, there can be marks/hailines in the fields and in the devices, [U]but no major ones[/U].[/I] - can in any way not be 100% clear ? I don't think there is a single person who could possibly interpret that to mean anything other than - not 1 single major mark is permitted. Did you somehow miss this ? [I]"Light and scattered [U]without major distracting marks in prime focal areas."[/U][/I] Or this - [I]"A few minor ticks or marks may be present."[/I] Like I said Mark, you're reaching. There's no way those standards can be interpretted to mean ANYTHING other than no major marks - not even 1 - in prime focal areas. Sorry, but I disagree. I find them quite clear. I would agree with that comment if it were in reference to the PCGS standards though.[/QUOTE]
