<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1666734, member: 36248&quot;]Well, I am no expert, but here is what I think the people here will tell you:</p><p><br /></p><p>A bag mark is a <u>natural</u> occurrence that happens as a result of normal handling at the mint, and in transportation of the coins. Most all coins have some bag marks, some have a lot (MS62) and some have very few (MS67+).</p><p><br /></p><p>A scratch happens post-mint, and is considered Post Mint Damage, or just plain damage. A scratch is something that happens due to poor handling or storage by a person. Not all coins will be damaged this way. </p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly you would agree that a numeric grade for your coin is not enough, considering there a plenty of other coins in the same grade without that nasty scratch?&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you want to buy a coin with a half-inch scratch without the seller or TPG noting it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
