[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2093033, member: 73489"]I think I see what you are saying. In theory, if a coin never left a mint bag from the U.S. mint but got banged around inside the bag...tons of bag marks...dents...scratches....and WEAR (high points showed significant rub from being moved weekly over many decades in some vault)....then you are saying when it comes out of that bag, it can't be considered MS. This is the 'outlier' that is an extreme example, much like a coin could in theory circulate for a few days/weeks/months and yet remain MS. In theory. :D Of course, as Homer Simpson once said, "[B][I][COLOR=#00b359]In theory, Marge, communism worked...in theory[/COLOR][/I][/B]." :D[/QUOTE]
