<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8110052, member: 77704&quot;]One good point/ all coins originally where born (hammered od milled) in mint state. Though some had flaws due to worn dies/ poorly engraved dies/ planchets that where defective/ inept workmanship.</p><p>Use for commerce/ touching coins surfaces caused wear and tear/ thus most MS examples turned into what we now grade as Good/ Very good/ Fine/ very fine......</p><p>I have been following auctions religiously for 20 years/ the high quality material seems to be what everyone wants. I honestly cannot fathom why anyone would want to handle/ touch a MS Vespasian Aureus? Your eyes are what you use to see beauty. A car/ like a 427/435 HP&nbsp; 1967 Corvette is beautifull to look at, but it needs to be driven to keep everything in top order/ much like our human body which needs to be exercised to maintain your physique/ looks....</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
