<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 445843, member: 5233"]One thing you have to remember is that silver is not a tremendous hard metal. It's malleable enough that the metal on the coin gets moved around slightly as it circulates. So, when you look at a coin that has seen some circulation...the high points may appear as if they have worn off but in actuality they have simply spread out a little bit and been "mushed" slighty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
