All other things being equal, clash marks (or bag marks as they are more commonly called) will most often detract from both the grade and value. A coin with bag marks can still have a relatively high grade, but much of a coins desireablity comes from "eye appeal". Therefore, the value (relative to similar coins) may be impacted more than the grade. Ed, I hate to pick nits... "Clash marks" happen when the dies come together without a planchet between them, so part of the design is transferred from one die to the other, and then appears on the struck coin. "Bag marks" happen when coins contact one another, usually the rim hitting on the field somewhere... take care, Scott I stand humbly corrected. I can only surmise that my mind was so befuddled with election day gobbledygook that I was temporarily insane. :-) I always use "paint fumes" as my reason :-) take care, Scott |
