<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2573915, member: 68&quot;]Speaking of experience I can tell you something else that will make this subject seem even more incomprehensible to people who get hung up on semantics.&nbsp; As a coin wears down from the high points most coins will show this as fine scratches in the luster of the high points before the luster is broken.&nbsp; In other words even coins in the condition of uncirculated can have wear if you have the experience to see it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With older coins this is often reffered to as &quot;cabinet rub&quot; but cabinet rub is true wear that is simply ignored because of the way it accumulated where the wear in the luster doesn&#039;t matter because it doesn&#039;t break the luster. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Simple enough? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Uncirculated&quot; is a condition defined by not having a break in the luster at the high points.&nbsp; It is not a state.&nbsp; Uncirculated coins can have plenty of circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
