<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 6511128, member: 73995&quot;]When coins are in a bag, Yes they can get contact and heavy marks, depending on how the bag was handled. But also think f those coins rubbing against each other creating contact and wear on the high points. You might think yeah this coin is strait from a mint bag. It has got to be MS. That just isn&#039;t the case. Under magnification even on the pieces no one would suspect, there is high point wear. The same kind of wear you would find on saints/gold that have been stacked in a tube. Searched and restacked in that tube multiple times. The same wear as if the coin was stored in a coin cabinet, etc. This type of wear has been deemed acceptable in Market grading and now instead of being an AU 58 or low MS, they have reached the mid and high MS category.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing they do not show is the mismatched light/fine surface scratches that make it evident that the coin is in fact circulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
