<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1575439, member: 112&quot;]Environmental damage - this covers a broad spectrum of individual things that can happen to a coin. Think of it as a catch-all phrase. Harsh cleaning - again a broad spectrum. Artificial toning - self explanatory. An altered coin - such as added or removed mint marks. Tooling - re-engraving details on the coin to make the coin appear to be better than it is. Over-dipping - a coin that has dipped to the point that it becomes washed out. Both MS and circ coins can be over-dipped. Damage - again a broad spectrum than covers anything from rim dings to scratches to gouges to being bent to basically anything that damages the surface. Polishing - self explanatory. Jewelry mount - self explanatory. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I said, I can go on, and on, and on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
