Saw a 1928 Peace Dollar in an ANACs yellow holder in tonight's HA . It was labeled ms60 details - edge cuts. The coin looked like a 64 in the holder. What sort of damage are edge cuts?

    They're cuts, on the edges.

    Sounds like someone may have cut the edge with a knife to verify that it's authentic rather than a silver plated base metal counterfeit or perhaps it's just damage of some sort. The cause of most damage is just speculation unless you were there when it happened.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I had a 20c piece that a customer of mine gave me to submit , and I told him it wouldn't grade because of clear cut in the rim, be he said send It anyway, and sure enough it holdered problem free

    Intentional to check for counterfeit or PMD - many possibilities there... Cheers, RickO

    If edge cuts cannot be seen from the obverse or the reverse, it doesn't hurt the value as much as stronger ones,
    and obviously it increases the possibility of someone missing them. Other than that, a damaged coin is a damaged coin...
