SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 01:46 am That is not a scratch, it was there before the strike. I was thinking XF45. Does the pre strike planchet damage add any premium? Or does it count as damage? Report this Post to the Staff

Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 12:41 pm These little guys are so hard to grade. Based on your photos I don't think it would grade any lower than EF-45, and could possibly be low AU. I think as a general rule, planchet flaws or other types of pre-strike damage do not add to the value and can very well detract from it. The damage on your coin is so small, it probably wouldn't make any difference; however, if the problem were more significant, it would very likely detract from the value. As for grading a coin with a planchet flaw; it shouldn't really effect the grade, although TPGs may put a notation on the slab label so that it can be distinguished from PMD.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 10:47 pm I'm low AU on this also. AU50 maybe 53. Gold is so easily scratched I don't think the scratch matters that much Report this Post to the Staff
