Planchet Flaws/Defective Planchet

This is something that i have always wondered about. Why would a planchet problem be lumped into the Details category, when everything else would be a post mint problem. Yet other mint errors/problems get a straight grade?

 

Even adjustment marks which can be ugly get a straight grade.

 

Some are almost un-noticeable.

 

Based on the TPG`s detail grades are for damage and altering of coins post minting with this exception.

 

I would think because its a mint problem that it would be the same as any other error coin and straight grade. this has always baffled me.

 

Can you please explain the reasoning behind this

Thanks for your question. For the most part NGC grades most planchet errors (laminations, etc.), but in some cases the planchet flaw is more of an Environmental Damage issue thus the net grade.
