<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 364270, member: 11467&quot;]The term has been used by numismatists, and not merely &quot;speculators&quot;, for decades. And it doesn&#039;t necessarily have anything to do with &quot;unsellable&quot; coins either. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You&#039;re free to &quot;call em all AU-58&quot; too, but many examples that are graded AU58 exhibit signs of actual circulation, such as contact marks/abrasions and not just cabinet/stacking friction. On the other hand, many of those which are described as having cabinet/stacking friction are free of the aforementioned contact/circulation marks. While some people might prefer to lump them all together, the quality and value of the latter are often far greater than that of the former.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edited to add: By the way, some degree of cabinet friction is present on many, if not most Capped Bust Half Dollars, even those graded as high as MS65-MS66.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
