grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 08:34 am I apologize for continuing to ask so, this is it. These marks on chin and in field are scuff marks therefore unwise to grade? Correct? Only visible at this angle. Edited by grospoisson 02/26/2022 08:35 am Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 09:44 am Scuff marks don't automatically eliminate a coin from being graded. It will impact the subjective part of the grading, but I don't think it stops the coin from being graded and/or slabbed. (Especially on Morgans) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 10:25 am Petespockets55...i dont think the OP is asking if the coin would grade, I think he is asking if its unwise to send in a common coin to have it graded and slabbed to answer the question (and I'm not someone who slabs my coins) but I couldnt justify the costs of grading unless I was fairly certain the coin would grade at a level that would be worth it. for this coin specifically if you are trying to pull a 67 I dont think it would make it, however, the whole coin both sides need to be presented for assessment Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 10:28 am Without seeing the rest of the coin, I think the visible scuff marks would preclude a 67. So yes, probably unwise to send for grading. Report this Post to the Staff
