basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 07/30/2012 11:05 pm Im wondering if that shammy wipe are the scratch marks were seeing on the coin. If you really wanted to though you could carry the coins around for a while till they wear down enough to have the top layer removed then could have them graded. Theyll lose a grade or two but wont come back with the cleaned label Report this Post to the Staff

poor_red_neck New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 5:51 pm Ok... I'm really confused here. Now I'm not saying I don't trust ya'lls opinions that the fine scratches will come back as cleaned, but in comparison to some coins I'm seeing on ebay, it just doesn't make sense. I'm using a POS point and shoot camera, at probably the worst angles so the flash is over exaggerating any scratches. They are really hardly noticeable to the naked eye even in sunlight. Now I'm selling a very similar coin on ebay right now, and saw this one. Mainly I just wanted to look at it because it's a beautiful coin. However when I look at the high-res picture...I see all kinds of hairline scratches on the surface. How can that grade as a MINT STATE 65, which is pretty darn high (right?), with those scratches on it. And I'm sure he's using a MUCH better lens/camera and light conditions than I am. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-Panama..._1720wt_1270 Edited by poor_red_neck 08/01/2012 5:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
