<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2444056, member: 24314&quot;]This is fairly easy if you look at enough SLABBED Saints.&nbsp; Start with MS-66&#039;s to learn what Full Mint Luster on the high points looks like. Once you learn what an original surface looks like (even some 66&#039;s are not 100% original w/no trace of friction) move down to the MS-65 range.&nbsp; Very many of the 65&#039;s will have &quot;flattened,&quot; shiny color on the knee, and breast.&nbsp; This is &quot;stacking rub.&quot;&nbsp; If that surface is dull, that is friction wear.&nbsp; This difference will may be hard to see at first without a mentor as the bright lighting at shows will reflect off the high points and mask the trace of wear (color) you&#039;ll be looking for.&nbsp; Florescent light takes all the glare off a coin and much of the plastic so the difference between shiny and dull pops out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
