Die wear can show up in many different forms many degrees of severity. A picture of wear on an actual die, courtesy of Matt - [ATTACH]
I just wish he'd hurry up and get done with the second edition. 'Course I've only been waiting 3 years or so, if memory serves I waited almost 6...
Raw or graded either one you'll be fine.
What's next ? They are currently do a trial run of allowing Staples to offer the same services the post office does in about 80 of their stores...
Yup, die wear.
I understand your thinking, but when a die gets rusty that rust creates pits in the die. So a coin struck with a rusty die always has raised bumps...
Yes of course they are. That was not the reason for his comment.

Answer me a question, do you really want to trust the answers you get here ? I mean trust them enough to keep you out of jail or having to pay...
Tim - if you want to pursue this idea you need to spend some time talking to a good accountant and asking him/her all your questions. As it stands...
A difference in prices like that is pretty common actually. It's even common even with 2 examples of the same coin, graded the same and by the...
