<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3654330, member: 19165&quot;]I agree that wear can sometimes be visible in the open fields of a coin before it&#039;s obvious on the high points. Disturbed luster in the fields is often a great indicator of an AU vs MS coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I strongly disagree with is *that* much wear can occur on *only* the letters around the rim, without *significant* wear elsewhere on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ya see, it just doesn&#039;t make any sense at all. What we are seeing on these letters is *not* wear. The coin is AU, sure - look at the breast and the fields. It has disturbed luster. It does not have enough wear to cause this effect on the lettering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
