<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1097050, member: 15309&quot;]The TPG&#039;s don&#039;t know where you found the coin.&nbsp; All they know is what they can see.&nbsp; The rule of thumb is that if the coin shows only slight high point wear but no friction in the fields, the coin becomes a candidate to be graded as a mint state coin thereby designating the wear to be a product of roll/cabinet friction.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I don&#039;t understand is why it is so important for you to be able to predict when an AU coin will grade mint state.&nbsp; If you think it is AU and your are expecting an AU grade, why would you be upset that it came back in a mint state holder?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
