And the definition that applies is determined by the context in which the word abrasion is used. For example - <u>an abrasion</u> is a singular thing, a scrape caused by a single contact. But <u>abrasion</u>, which is not singular, can be correctly used to describe the result of repeated contact.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as you can see by reading the PCGS definition an abrasion is caused by singular contact, similar to a and individual bag mark, which is also caused singular contact. Nowhere do they mention wear caused by anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>So no, it is not incorrect. If we&#039;re going to be technical, lets actually be technical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
