<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2095160, member: 37839"]The dead ringer for this not being a bag or cabinet beating is the fields. The devices on a Saint will almost always have some marks, as it is so large and the design has sufficient relief that contact is likely. Same goes for the Morgan dollar. However, the wear lines in the fields aren't from contact--they look like light scratches from mild circulation. To me, that is the critical difference between storage friction, and circulation--the fact that it isn't only the high spots that show the abrasion, but the low spots as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
