Message:: [QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 7755983, member: 4920"]Bentley, MS coins can have scratches on them. In fact, quite a few of them do. And scrapes, and marks, and you name it. They get that from banging around other coins in the bins they drop into after they're minted. On your two coins, the 67 and 74, they're not MS, but only for one reason, and one reason, alone, and that's, they have wear. Now, let me explain that. You buy a new dress shirt. It's brand new. It's still got the pins in it, and in the cardboard. It's MS, right? OK, you get the idea. You wear it, then you wash it. It's a little less new-looking, now, isn't it? You wear and wash, wear and wash, wear and wash, a hundred times, and now it's looking nothing like it looked when you bought it. It's worn out, that's why. Well, guess what? The same goes for coins, after they've circulated in commerce for a spell. They wear out, too. How do we know your coins aren't MS? How do you know that dress shirt, after just a few wash cycles, isn't new? We tell the same way as you, from the wear we see. Finally, I want to just make a suggestion. You don't have to follow it, that's OK. But, it's this. Instead of looking for bad coins, why don't you start looking for good ones? It's what most of us here do. We look for good coins, not mistakes on coins. I'll assure you of this much, if you do, you'll soon enough find, that's where the money is. It's certainly not in what you've been doing, looking for errors. Show us your best, instead of your worst. Take your focus off errors, and put it on good coins. Just a suggestion, now, I just told you that. You're in charge, always, and never forget it. Enjoy.[/QUOTE]
