<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1943031, member: 112"]And you can prove this exactly how ? Is there some difference between the wear caused by a coin being used in actual circulation and the wear caused by other forms of friction ? Can you, or anybody, definitively identify one cause of wear from another ?</p><p><br /></p><p>No, you can't, because there is no way to identify one from another, none. All wear or a given degree looks exactly the same. So all you can do is "claim" that the wear on this coin or that coin was caused by roll friction, or album friction or whatever - just so you can claim the coin is MS instead of not MS. And that claim is based on absolutely nothing more than your (or the TPGs) desire to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
