<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3876836, member: 106826"]I'm not sure about the 'friction' bit but concede that gold being soft is probably more susceptible to mint dings, dents, and blemishes. That said, the scuffing on the obverse, especially her face, is too distracting. I think for sure on silver/nickel/copper it would significantly affect the grade despite presenting well overall. I also couldn't get the reverse to enlarge to do a proper review, so I took a point off (although it looks better than the obverse shot at similar focal length). Looks like less highpoint wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
