[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3525642, member: 78244"]You might call me a hardline “wear is wear” traditionalist, but I accepted roll/bag friction as being okay years ago before I was arguing with you. I don’t consider it to be circulation wear, and it is easy enough to differentiate from circulation wear. However, these coins exemplify what this thread is actually about. Here is a coin from PCGS’s Photograde. I noticed this one had obvious wear 5 years ago, well before I got into these deep grading discussions. The wear is on both sides (so not cabinet friction), is not roll friction (these were not stored in rolls), and it has the very color change and dulling you brought up earlier in this thread. Yet it is the plate coin for MS-62. [ATTACH=full]936717[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]936718[/ATTACH] And here is another example (different coin, but also graded MS-62): [ATTACH=full]936712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]936716[/ATTACH] Good old-fashioned overgrading/ignoring obvious circulation wear that is the subject of this thread.
