<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 5131173, member: 15309"]Because if the high point wear is so minor that it doesn’t really affect the eye appeal of the coin, then calling every coin like that AU 58+ irrespective of the individual surfaces is tantamount to just calling all mint state coins “UNCs”. We separate mint state coins using an 11 point scale, but can’t be bothered to describe the surfaces of a coin that somehow suffered the slightest high point wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
