Saying that for a coin to grade AU requires wear be present in the fields is rediculous. It is nothing but an excuse for the TPG's to be able to grade coins higher than they deserve, I guess so that people feel better about their coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I also agree that there are times that a coin should be graded as MS even though it has slight rub on the high points as a result of cabinet friction and the like. But to take that idea and stretch it to the point that a coin has to have wear in the fields before it can be graded as AU is downright insulting to the intelligence of collectors.
