<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 2302580, member: 4920&quot;]But Mike, isn&#039;t it still an impairment in the coin&#039;s condition? It wasn&#039;t minted like that, it was minted without the &quot;cabinet friction.&quot; While the mode of onset or the source if you will of &quot;circulation wear&quot; is different from the same for &quot;cabinet friction,&quot; they&#039;re both wear, and both impairment in the coin&#039;s condition. Why does it even make sense to differentiate modes of onset or sources of wear when they&#039;re both wear and both mean the coin&#039;s condition is impaired to the degree of the wear? Are we out to fool collectors into thinking if we can call it &quot;cabinet friction&quot; the coin&#039;s condition isn&#039;t impaired or that they should forget about the coin&#039;s condition as being meaningful? That&#039;s where I&#039;m stuck. What&#039;s meaningful to me is whether and to what degree the coin&#039;s condition is impaired. From a different slant, when you grade a coin with cabinet friction MS64, what&#039;s to differentiate that from a coin without cabinet friction graded MS64, which is clearly a condition-superior coin? There are probably other dilemmas, too, other such, well, unforeseeable consequences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
