<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1543865, member: 15309&quot;]You have been claiming that the reason you think all coins showing wear are AU is because you are following the ANA standards.&nbsp; Now you are admitting that the ANA standards allow for coins with roll friction to be considered MS.&nbsp; That means that you are not following any published grading standard and that both you and Doug simply have a personal opinion on the matter.&nbsp; You are entitled to that opinion, but you are not entitled to present it as part of the ANA grading standards, which it is not. </p><p><br /></p><p>What really bothers me is that in the early part of this thread in post #62 I specifically asked how the ANA standards address roll friction.&nbsp; Nobody responded so I assumed based on the posts made by you and others that any wear would prevent an MS grade based on the ANA standards.&nbsp; This is evidenced in my post #99 which I incorrectly state that the ANA standards don&#039;t take roll friction into account.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until I found a two year old post made by Doug in a different thread that the truth came out.&nbsp; That means that one of the following scenarios occurred:</p><p><br /></p><p>1)&nbsp; You knew that the ANA standards allowed for roll friction, but let me think otherwise because it bolstered your opinion.</p><p>2)&nbsp; You did not know that the ANA standards allowed for roll friction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since you follow the ANA grading standards, I will assume you have a copy.&nbsp; Can you please look up roll friction in the index and tell us what it says specifically.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You need to read the entire written grading standards.&nbsp; Picking out one page to proclaim it a contradiction is nothing more than contextomy.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We don&#039;t need to discuss NGC&#039;s, they are essentially identical to those of PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
