<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TubeRider, post: 2296057, member: 76481&quot;]Great info!&nbsp; I&#039;ve been working on grading for several years now, really hard the last six months.&nbsp; Both photographs and hands on have been invaluable!&nbsp; My internet search a few weeks ago on Cabinet/Stacking Friction is what lead me to this exact thread and therefore Coin Talk.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been working very hard on distinguishing MS from the <i><u>slightest</u></i> sign of circulation.&nbsp; I have read of guys that could distinguish wear on a Morgan slid one time across a crap table, I want to be able to do that.&nbsp; A couple weeks ago I bought a few Unc rolls of quarters and dimes and started experimenting.&nbsp; I would put a nice new coin in my pocket with nothing else for one day, then another one for two days or rubbed light across my shirt a few times etc. All the hard work has finally started to pay off.&nbsp; Hit a small coin show last weekend and I was shocked that the majority of the raw coins put out there as Mint State were definitely AU, how many AU58&#039;s were not even close to that grade and above all, how many coins had been <i><u>cleaned</u></i>![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
