<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 835281, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s a good question Sam, but not one you&#039;re likely to get an answer to. You see, the market - and the market is us - don&#039;t like the idea of a lot of our coins being called circulated. They much prefer that they are called MS. </p><p><br /></p><p>It allows them to look at their collection with more pride. It allows them to own MS coins that could not otherwise afford. It allows them to fool themselves into believing that they own something that it is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the TPGs will continue to do what the market wants. To use their term, what the market accepts - until the market no longer accepts it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If and when that day comes, then we will see coins with obvious wear being graded as AU or lower. Until then, coins with minimal wear - and what is considered as being minimal has been steadily increasing over the years - will continue to be graded as MS - when they really aren&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
