[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 221161, member: 2972"]Fair enough. I'll even give you a chance to win me over -- simply show me another example of a coin that shows this wear pattern. That said, might I win you over if I showed you several MS examples with weakness in this area that could not be caused by wear?
