<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 8180571, member: 13650&quot;]I think sometimes the graders believe issues may have been when it was struck or issues with the planchet.&nbsp; Or sometimes it looks like a scratch but they perceive it to be something else.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;ll give you a wild example in an NGC slab.&nbsp; My 1921 high relief Peace.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was graded MS-61.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s a large obvious mark in the field that doesn&#039;t show up on the camera that well but shows up really well in hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; It looks like a big scratch to me but that&#039;s not what the graders at NGC&nbsp; thought.&nbsp; If it was raw I would&#039;ve guess it would have no chance to straight grade.&nbsp; &nbsp; So, I have no idea what it is or what they thought it is.&nbsp; But it&#039;s a MS-61 officially.&nbsp;&nbsp; They must have looked at it under magnification and determined it was not a scratch.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1430125[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
