<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 2093487, member: 73489&quot;]Is it possible that when the ANA standards were devised....they didn&#039;t want to come up with loopholes, like those old Venn Diagrams which overlapped a bit (the area where AU-58&#039;s are competitive with MS-60&#039;s) ?</p><p><br /></p><p>IOTW....they assumed that ALL MS coins would be better looking and have nicer appeal than the best AU&#039;s ??</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cabinet rub = circulated ?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s a good question.&nbsp; I have to assume that if the ANA standards incorporated all these &quot;hypotheticals&quot; you&#039;d have the same problem you do in the NFL with the &quot;what is a catch controversy&quot; (Dallas playoff game, Dez Bryant, etc.):&nbsp; a multiplicity of possibilities.&nbsp; They wanted simplicity.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But what if the wear is cosmetically/aesthetically no worse than a bag mark ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Again...I know these are outliers, but I think that&#039;s why we&#039;re debating this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that the ANA standards and technical grading are agreed upon to be right 90-95% of the time and the flexibility some are asking for is to fill the remaining 5-10% -- or less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
