<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3131670, member: 26302&quot;]It is one of the &quot;biggies&quot; due to the mistake US numismitists made like 180 years ago. Coins should only be judged based upon a percentage of &quot;perfect&quot; details left on it. US numismatists tried to say &quot;uncirculated&quot; coins are superior to those with wear, even though an &quot;uncirculated&quot; coins could have MUCH less details on it than an AU or XF coin because of scratches, dings, soft strike, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, under this scenario, what do you consider a scratch? The coin technically is uncirculated, or do you consider a scratch &quot;wear&quot;? If it is similar to &quot;wear&quot;, how bad is that &quot;wear&quot; versus normal wear? The arguments go round and round, basically due to how US grading was set up erroneously to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
