Grading Morgans !

Hi guys,

I am new to the hobby and have been collecting up morgans, like alot of newcomers i dont care about rarity right now but like to get high grade coins cheap so i can learn along with filling in the easy holes in my collection.

The question is what is "wear" ? I have coins that grade high but there seems to be "wear" on the high points.

The red book says no trace of wear for coins in the MS range..

I would consider "wear" to be the shiny part when you urn the coin in the light, the part under 10X that is definately worn...am I correct????

If thats the case then all my MS morgans are actualy AU

Is there some kind of difference between "wear" from circulation and that which could occur from being in bag or something??

Please help! Very confused on this topic!
