<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1536857, member: 15309&quot;]As Ruben already stated, it is treated as an abrasion, not wear.&nbsp; It makes perfect sense that roll friction could limit the grade of a coin at high mint state grades yet not be treated as wear.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is 100% untrue.&nbsp; The reason they do it is because they market grade coins and the difference between a high grade mint state coin with roll friction and an actual AU is coin is obvious.&nbsp; The TPG&#039;s and everyone else recognize that these coins are not equal and should not be valued the same.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am okay with some circulated coins ending up in MS holders in order to ensure that great coins with roll friction are market graded accurately.&nbsp; To be clear, it is your opinion that wear is wear, no matter how it got there.&nbsp; Your opinion is not what is accepted by the numismatic society and to say that anybody who disagrees with you lacks common sense is arrogant to say the least.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, what grade would you assign this Saint?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Roll%20Friction/Saint1908PCGS_zps2ada6cd2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Roll%20Friction/Saint1908PCGSleg_zps9c4ddf49.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
