Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 07/09/2019 9:47 pm Hi all, Just a quick, maybe, question. I've seen a number of coins like this over the years. What happened in the minting process on the right side? All the sort of slashes? Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 01:41 am I'm pretty sure those are adjustment marks. The planchet was a bit overweight so they filed it down before striking. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 07:55 am My understanding is that these do not affect the technical grade of a coin. For example, you can get an MS grade on a coin with adjustment marks. But it does affect eye appeal, and hence the market value. Lovely coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 07/18/2019 8:23 pm Okay. That's actually what I thought. I have a Boliviano that has marks exactly the same (I know, photos. I can't because it's in the safe deposit box!). I think it got graded down because of the marks, at an unnamed TPG. With adjustment marks just like that, it should still grade a 63 or 64? Thanks!

Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 07/19/2019 12:57 pm So, I said I had a Boliviano that has this, but it's in the safe deposit box. It is, but I just remembered that I took photos of it before I put it in! Does this have the same? And, what do you think the grade would be? It's a little hard to tell in the photos, but it has solid luster. Same marks, right? Shouldn't affect the grade, right? Gimme a grade guess.
