[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2101088, member: 15309"]You wrote the post above in October 2012 in this same thread. Based on what you are saying now, it would appear that Doug (et al) have convinced you that the "wear is wear" philosophy is sound. With regards to your question in red above, you answered it yourself in the first sentence of your first post: "[COLOR=#0000ff]I have seen thousands of Saints, but I have never seen one without some sort of friction (aside from proofs)." [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]If every Saint shows friction (wear), and there are no available coins without any friction (wear), then it stands to reason that how much you would pay would depend of the coin's other attributes and not the high point friction. The only other option is to grade every Saint AU, thereby valuing every Saint of each date/mm the same as well. How do you view the metal displacement of luster grazes? Do you make and exception for luster grazes, or do you consider it wear?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
