<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4403599, member: 26302&quot;]Yes and no sir. I disagree, and always have, with US coin collectors differentiating wear from all other damage. To me, missing detail is missing detail, regardless of source. To me this coin should be 62 money, and I do not CARE that the only damage to the coin is wear versus bag marks. I would take this coin over all true &quot;uncirculated&quot; 62s out there, as it is nicer looking. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, to me, I understand why the grading services are market grading these 62, but simply point out they are trying to fix the original sin of US numismatics, and that being a little wear is somehow worst than dings and all the other bad things that can happen to a coin and yet still be &quot;uncirculated&quot;. That is why I collected pretty AU coins when I collected US coins, thinking MS was overpriced in terms of overall coin quality versus nice AUs with good strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the TPGs went to straight numerical grading it would clear this up, and I would applaud the move. Do not call anything uncirculated or circulated anymore, just a numerical grade based upon overall coin preservation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
