<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2094836, member: 15309&quot;]If you recall, I said that I was willing to live with the mistakes that would be inevitable as a result of allowing for roll friction.&nbsp; This is one of those mistakes.&nbsp; IMO, this coin certainly belongs in an AU holder.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTkzWDk5OQ==/z/0CgAAOSwKPNTyCHu/$_57.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>High point friction from roll friction needs to limited to the absolute high points, the breast and knee.&nbsp; This coin has wear all over the place:&nbsp; breast, knee, torso, right leg, drapery, face, hand, torch, fields.&nbsp; Heck, even the eagle shows signs of wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I am going to support the TPG practice of market grading Saints with respect to friction, then it is required that I criticize their mistakes in the process.&nbsp; This coin belongs in an AU holder.&nbsp; That said, there is a huge difference between this coin and the MS66 Wells Fargo hoard example that I posted earlier.&nbsp; This coin looks much more like the AU58 example I posted earlier and again contrasts the difference in quality between an AU Saint and a MS Saint with high point friction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
