OK - who told him ?? :rolleyes:
That is true, there were no numerical grades at all for many decades. The only grading terms used were adjectival. Once numerical grades came...
You don't seem to understand what I'm saying, I'm being quite literal - there were no other MS grades back then. MS 61, 62, 63, 64, and MS 66, 67,...

OK, ya sold me. I've just never seem 'em lose that much.
Simple answer - no. Could it lose weight ? Yeah sure, but no where near that much.
Wear. It's fairly straightforward, wear is flat and smooth; weakly struck areas will have a texture to them and look slightly rough and or...
You still don't know that. PL, DMPL and Proof coins as well - they all have luster.
