He was also a grader at ANACS before that. Yes, I know he only said &quot;circulation&quot; wear once in the article, and it would be nice for you to assume he didn&#039;t mean it. He is, as most would acknowledge though, a certified expert in this field, and I for one do not wish to change wording that he and his editor probably have already discussed. Until he ever published a changed article, (and I haven&#039;t seen it in NN), I will believe him and let his words stand.</p><p><br /></p><p>You must have better eyes than me Lehigh to be able to spot breaks in luster from front on photos of coins. I need to see a coin and turn it at an angle to the light to verify there is no break in luster, so I will not be doing as you ask and trying to search HA archives. For me at least, this would be a waste of time because just because I cannot see it from a photo I cannot verify there is not wear on a coin usually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
