[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1539349, member: 66"]Why not? Just because every coin in a series has wear doesn't mean we can select the best of these worn coins and declare them to be "Mint State". If every coin has wear then every coin has wear and none of them are MS. What you want doesn't matter, if every Saint has wear then every Saint is no better than AU. "Right" has nothing to do with it. As for your continuing question if this is AU, what is this? If the first is relatively mark free but with light wear it is AU, if the second has lots of bagmarks but no wear it is MS. The AU coin may be nicer and may even be worth more, but a bagmarked coin with no wear is still MS and a mark free coins with slight wear is still AU. (I will not actually commit myself to a grade on the two coins because I will not grade anything higher than AU from pictures. Especially computer monitor pictures.) I don't have a problem with that. Of course white coins could be dipped so we better keep the white coins out of the slabs too. :)[/QUOTE]
