<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1173842, member: 2972&quot;]I distinguished between rub types because you did not, and I think it is relevant to the discussion because many collectors don&#039;t know or don&#039;t otherwise make the distinction -- a distinction that I believe is critical to distinguish between AU and MS grades.&nbsp; I am not trying to &quot;hype myself&quot; or getting&nbsp; &quot;a kick out of thinking others are ignorant&quot;, and I am sorry if that is the impression you got as it was not at all my intent.&nbsp; My intent was simply to foster discussion on the topic and share my own experience, FWIW.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are, of course, free to disagree about how TPGs distinguish between the two types of rub when assigning AU/MS grades (and/or the presence of hits on the rims) -- that&#039;s what this forum is for as far as I&#039;m concerned!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you do, please do me a favor and show me an AU coin with only high point rub in TPG plastic -- I think you will be challenged to find one, because it has been my experience that they are in MS graded holders the vast majority of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. thanks for the clarification, RLM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
