<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1934786, member: 5233&quot;]I&#039;m not trying to justify anything...especially an excuse.&nbsp; Nowhere in the ANA guide that I have seen do they give their definition of &quot;impaired luster.&quot;&nbsp; They do mention what you quoted under &quot;luster&quot; but nowhere do they define what they mean by impaired.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rather than make an assumption to fit my point (like you are doing)...I used the webster&#039;s definition of impaired.&nbsp; That is &quot;being in a less than perfect or whole condition.&quot;&nbsp; So, by using the accepted English definition of impaired...and applying that to what is said in the ANA guide, the obvious conclusion is that they will allow St Gaudens Double Eagles to grade MS60-63 if the luster is &quot;less than perfect or whole.&quot;&nbsp; That means breaks in luster.&nbsp; They never say wear, so just like the TPGs they are making the assumption that this &quot;less than perfect or whole&quot; luster is the result of something other than wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
