<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3873653, member: 15309&quot;]Oh boy, this brings back my memories of arguing with Doug about the difference between circulation wear and roll/stacking/cabinet friction.&nbsp; He claimed that “wear was wear” and that any coin showing wear had to be AU.&nbsp; I subscribe to the philosophy employed by the TPGs that certain coins are prone to high point friction from roll/stacking/cabinet friction and when high point friction is found on those coins, the coin will be graded as mint state without corresponding friction in the fields.&nbsp; Saints are a series that PCGS claims that every coin shows some measure of high point friction in the knee &amp; breast.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has obvious friction in the knee &amp; breast but none in the fields, so to my eyes it is mint state.&nbsp; There are no major marks but there is plenty of chatter throughout.</p><p><br /></p><p>My grade is MS63.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
