<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1543391, member: 15309&quot;]Okay, but you didn&#039;t answer my question.&nbsp; Do you consider coins that come out of sealed bank bags uncirculated?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>According to Doug, that is not true about the ANA standards:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t111316-3/#ixzz289gHjRfz" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t111316-3/#ixzz289gHjRfz">http://www.cointalk.com/t111316-3/#ixzz289gHjRfz</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If this post by Doug from 2 years ago is true, it means that the ANA changed their standards and adopted a market grading system that allowed for high point wear on MS examples.&nbsp; It certainly dispels the validity of the &quot;wear is wear&quot; philosophy.&nbsp; Doug&#039;s post does not adequately address when the ANA deems it applicable to employ this aspect of market grading, but it seems logical that the ANA would grade a coin that came directly from a sealed bag with high point wear as an MS coin.&nbsp; Wouldn&#039;t you agree?</p><p><br /></p><p>And even more curious is the date in which the ANA published their new market grading standards which coincided with the inception of the TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; I wonder if the new grading standards were a collaborative effort between the ANA and PCGS?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
