I have an Ike that otherwise seems perfect except for the unfortunate (and very ugly) mark between the t and y in Liberty on the obverse. Thanks in advance! I'm very bad at pictures so I made some gifs that hopefully is better! :D https://gph.is/g/4VxDWOR https://gph.is/g/EBOgkDG Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7036 Posts	Posted 11/13/2019 11:14 pm The mark you are concerned about is not a scratch but what we call a bag mark. Where the edge of a reeded coin hits yours (most likely another Ike) This would not cause your coin from getting a "detailed" grade. But would take maybe a point off depending on the rest of the coin Report this Post to the Staff
