[QUOTE="1916D10C, post: 3234297, member: 97585"]Not a fanboy by any means, the only person trolling here is yourself. I’ve been staying quiet and just taking in this whole discussion. Now I will speak. Your claim that wear on a coin is damage is a completely inaccurate statement. In the case of business strikes, the coins were intended to circulate; the wear on a coin, provided it is naturally occurring, is not damage, but a sign of it serving its purpose. In strictly technical terms, wear could be called damage, but traditionally speaking, it is not considered that. On Proof Specimens made specifically for collectors, I suppose circulation wear could be more reasonably considered damage since the coin was never created to circulate. Also, I’m not a fan of TPG’s period, but I prefer NGC and ICG over all others. That does not mean I’m major fans of them or blindly follow what they say. Your claim that inhalers are simply placebos or crutches is a totally erroneous statement, for obvious reasons. But alas, this is a numismatic forum, not a medical forum, and I don’t feel the need to further detail the ignorance of your statement. But what do I know. I’m only in my 20’s.[/QUOTE]
