<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 866274, member: 112&quot;]Yeah I know Mike. And when the coin has little or no luster left in the fields it can still be graded as AU <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And of course the reason it&#039;s AU is because the TPGs say so, and the market accepts it - so it must be so, right ?</p><p><br /></p><p>And stuff like the fact that luster breaks can only be caused by wear or over-dipping has nothing to do with a coin still being graded as MS. Especially not when you have all those handy excuses to use, like a weak stike, cabinet rub, roll friction, toning - and I hear they have a new one now, they call it album friction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m not saying that these things don&#039;t exist. I&#039;m not even saying that these things are not valid reasons for still grading a coin as MS.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am saying is - do you really think that light wear is due to one of these things on every single coin ? That on none of them, it is due to actual wear ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry Mike, but I find that just a&nbsp; bit much to swallow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
