    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    I don't think random marks like this can be considered to be graffiti. Normally graffiti is initials or a name or a date or some art work etc.

    Again, I respectfully disagree with this comment as I believe it also includes (or should include) other random marks like the ones above.
    Then again, this is just my opinion.

    Here is an example I recently viewed in hand of two X’s made in the same area which were called Graffiti by PCGS.


    Hey, you used my coin’s image...........
