<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 7855948, member: 15309&quot;]I fall in the other category.&nbsp; If a coin has circulation wear, it belongs in the AU grading category and should not be market graded into the uncirculated grades.&nbsp; However, if a coin has high point friction that can be defined as either cabinet friction or roll friction, then I accept those as an exception to the rule and would allow those coins to be graded uncirculated.&nbsp; Keep in mind, that these coins are usually series specific and the high point friction is almost always limited to a very specific area of the design.&nbsp; For example, the breast &amp; knee on a Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, or the lower leg on an SLQ.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/vc6gDpP.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1YYO9TR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
