<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1539201, member: 15309"]I am not disputing that wear can result from circulation. I am not even disputing that it is almost impossible to discern circulation wear from roll friction wear. What I am saying is that when you see a series where almost every coin shows high point wear and many of the coins are known to be uncirculated, you can't relegate them all to AU status. Roll friction is real and must be addressed. If you guys want to take the position that wear is wear and all coins with high point wear should be AU, that is your prerogative. However, I am willing to accept a few AU coins in MS holders in order to ensure that the appropriate separation exists in grade for all the legitimately uncirculated coins that show roll friction. And I am not alone in that regard, many other collectors agree with my opinion on the matter as do the TPG's.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, you know that the link to the article on the PCGS website is from 1995 don't you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
