[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1934770, member: 112"]It's very simple, wear has many causes. That includes coins rubbing against each other in a mint bag. Now you explain to me how you, or anybody else, can say with any degree of certainty at all, that a given coin spent it's entire life in a mint bag ? Or what difference it would make if it did. Wear is wear, regardless of what causes it or where it happens to occur. Besides that, after 1933 there were very, very, few if any, St. Gaudens in sealed mint bags. All the coins held by the banks, which were virtually the only ones who had St. Gaudens in sealed bags and even they had very few of them, were recalled and turned into the govt. And even the coins that were recovered from Europe decades later, they weren't in sealed mint bags either. So where did all these coins that you seem to think spent their entire existence in sealed mint bags come from Paul ? When nobody had any ?[/QUOTE]
