<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 741186, member: 4552&quot;]Sounds logical. I always just thought it was due to the location. I would think most coins wear at the highest points first and/or in the middle. Your explanation would sort of clarify why so many of mine have the bottom and top bands so clear and the middle appearing worn on coins that are excessively new. Not just worn but made that way. </p><p>As to the Merc in question. With over 159 million made, I would really not send that one in for slabbing. To many scratches and the middle bands really are poor. How&#039;s the obverse?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
