For those who have spent more time than I looking at these coins, what’s your thoughts on the level of contact marks for the grade?
I realise these are chunky old coins that are seldom seen with good surfaces...However, are these ‘mechanical’ marks too much for you?
I believe there is a small minority who self-abuse at coin sites - the 1933 penny has a lot to answer for.
I've even splashed out on the odd rarity myself.
