<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2374376, member: 16729&quot;]Thanks for your responses, Doug.&nbsp; Thanks for suffering fools so patiently, but I cannot seem to nail you down on this point: </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So &quot;wear&quot; only happens <b>in circulation </b>(or in other such circumstances, such as the changes that take place to the surface of my pocket piece in my pocket, or the changes to the surface of my coins sliding around in a coin cabinet, etc.), right?</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot see the difference between:</p><p>1) A coin &quot;rubbing&quot; against other coins in a &quot;sealed-by-the-Mint&quot; mint bag, and</p><p>2) A coin &quot;rubbing&quot; against other coins in a cash register slot.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, both are pretty &quot;wear-ish&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>OR, are you saying that &quot;rubbing&quot; causes wear (regardless of how it happens), and other changes to surfaces such as &quot;marks, scratches, and abrasions&quot; are not wear?</p><p><br /></p><p>I promise to go away after this...<font size="2">really.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
