BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 12:12 pm A die clash or a planchet defect will not effect the grade of a coin since it was done either prior to or at the time of minting of that coin. Grades are mostly based on defects that are accumulated after the coin is struck. However, the exception is when judging the appearance of the coin, which is part of the grading. The strength of the strike is taken into consideration. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
