<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 112267, member: 112&quot;]The reason bag marks, frost breaks and such are not considered damage when grading is because it happens during the minting process. And that process includes the coins falling out of the press and into the hopper on top of one another. It continues to happen while the coins are still sealed in the bag from the mint. Similar reasoning with toning - it is part of the natural process.</p><p><br /></p><p>But a scratch - a scratch does not occur naturally, it has to be made by man. That&#039;s why a scratch is considered damage and the other is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you choose to think differently - OK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
