<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 611972, member: 112&quot;]Did you miss the part where I said they did it - IN WRITING ? I have said all of this many times before, even quoted them directly.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection</i> - 2nd edition</p><p><br /></p><p>page 22 - </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Can my MS66 coin have friction ? .... Yes. Though a coin may have slight friction on its highest points, it may never have been in circulation, so technically speaking it is uncirculated. Technically, it also has slight friction - though the market dictates an uncirculated price, not an AU price.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>page 47 - </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Thus, what appears to be wear is sometimes incomplete striking, bag/roll friction, album slide lines, cabinet friction, flip rub, slight mishandling, <b>or actual wear from slight circulation.</b> (the bold is mine, the words are verbatim) The grades involved are AU58 and higher. This element of grading is not just about the difference in AU58 and MS60, <b>since there is slight wear</b> or friction in grades up to MS67.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Do ya believe it now ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
