Message:: [QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2303396, member: 4920"]The thigh is the weak spot and the draping over the thigh would show better if the wear hadn't impaired it. From a technical, condition-of-wear standpoint, AU58. Those $20 Saints should also go technical AU. That said, I'm actually understanding this rationale for differentiating "cabinet" or "roll" friction from "circulation wear." Really, the first grading guides gave us that freedom when they broadly differentiated "Circulated" from "Uncirculated." If you'll read closer, however, you'll see, those broad categories are terms of art, describing, simply, states of wear and no wear, on the face of the coin. What's important isn't the strict, literal terms. What's important is the presence or absence of wear, on the face of the coin. Thus, one can find Uncirculated coins in circulation.[/QUOTE]
