<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2304001, member: 46237"]Of course, there are some circulated coins that appear to be uncirculated. Likewise, there are also uncirculated coins that appear to be circulated. We're making an educated guess based on the complete condition of the coin. I just don't agree that all wear should be treated as circulation wear and reduce a coin to AU58 in situations when it seems obvious from the appearance of the coin that it is not true circulation wear. You argue that it makes valuing coins difficult when there will be ones with "wear" at the same MS grade as ones without, but to not do this would simply move the true outliers down to AU58 coins and create an even worse disparity in quality at AU58 than we have now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
