<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3296768, member: 46237&quot;]Yes, of course. I&#039;m not talking about wear detailing a coin. Details due to damage is for <i>abnormal</i> non wear-and-tear damage. Any collectible market will rightly distinguish between normal wear-and-tear and abnormal damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said above:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m talking about problem-free coins here. By damage I mean anything that negatively affects the condition of the coin and contributes to lowering the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>To clarify, what I&#039;m saying in my above posts is that wear <i>is not special</i> compared to other types of <i>normal wear-and-tear</i>. There is no difference between a significant hit and high point rub. Both are conditions that damage the coin and affect <i>eye appeal</i>. One should not bump the coin down to a 58 with the other only resulting in a minor point deduction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
