[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1540669, member: 2972"]The point is you took the discussion off on a tangent suggesting a coin grading 60-62 should have "no wear". Specifically, you said "The criteria for a coin to make a BU grade, which is MS60 - 62 it can have no traces of wear." I disagreed within the context of this discussion -- a thread that's about how TPGs grade coins, and noting your response was to someone who was talking about TPG grades. Your response to that was to go on a tangent related to ANA grading, followed by a reference to the Redbook -- neither of which are germane to this discussion. If you cannot acknowledge that point I don't know what to say, and I will give you the break you ask for. Take care...Mike p.s. As for your follow-on post... PCGS does not follow their written standards, in practice, and with respect to this topic. Again, they seem to distinguish the difference between AU and MS mostly around field wear (e.g. luster impairment in the fields) and not high point wear. Said a bit more directly, be careful from confusing their words and their actions.[/QUOTE]
