<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 733557, member: 4552&quot;]Not a bad question. I really have no idea. For me a scratch is just that, a scratch. However, there are those that use a toothbrush to clean coins. Those leave minor scratches that are noticable but just the same, are scratches. Some coins have slid across a concrete or really hard servace and also have an assortment of different scratches. Lines across a coin are sometimes from the original material used to make the coins too. </p><p>I once opened a 2x2 with a screwdriver and it slipped. Now that is NOT a scratch, that&#039;s a gauge. </p><p>In my opinion there are numerous degrees of scratches possible on a coin and some do and some don&#039;t make a difference. </p><p>If this post gets a lot of attention, I&#039;m sure in the near future there will be a book on coin scratches on the market soon if not already.:whistle:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
