<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 421260, member: 112&quot;]According to the TPG&#039;s a coin with cabinet friction is still worthy of being graded as MS. Personally, wear is wear no matter how it comes about.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, is there a difference between taking an unc coin, placing it in your pocket for a while, and having slight wear imparted to the coin by the cloth of your pants pocket - or by having the same unc coin slide around on the felt or velvet of a coin cabinet and having that impart slight wear to the coin ? To me there is no difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for stacking, that is little different either. Banks used to take large denomination coins such as half dollars, dollars and several of the gold denominations, and these coins were used as cash reserves and backing for paper money. But when banks did this, the coins were repeatedly counted over &amp; over, every time the bank had to balance its accounts. And when they counted the coins they were stacked, by hand. The wear caused by this is no different than the wear caused by normal circualtion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
