<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1538183, member: 15309&quot;]These comments help define the controversy.&nbsp; Both of you admit that if the abrasion on the knee was caused by contact from another coin that the coin should still be graded as a mint state coin.&nbsp; Unfortunately, storing coins on top of each other causes friction which results in wear that is indiscernable from circulation wear.&nbsp; That is the main reason why people like Doug want to condemn all the coins, even those that show wear as a result of roll friction.&nbsp; My point is simply that the numismatic community does not take such a hard lined stance on the subject.&nbsp; For certain series of coins with known high points, roll friction is commonly overlooked during the grading process.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The chances that the wear on the Saint in this thread was caused by circulation is extremely low.&nbsp; PCGS recognized this and appropriately graded the coin in the mint state range.&nbsp; I will divulge the grade of the coin after Doug provides his opinion of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
