The grade is still UNC. The grade is the amount of wear and marks on a coin.

Look at it this way, if you take a new car for a test drive, and put 20 miles on it, is it still new???? Yes, it is. Still has all the characteristics of a car fresh from the assembly line, the little mileage is incidental. But, if you were to take a 5 mile test drive, and accidentally clip a light post and scratch the fender, then it isn't new anymore, is it?? It now has evidence of usage and wear.

And I was just beginning to like the bloke. Dee Snider avatar, and all. I usually catch a few minutes of his show "House of Hair" on my way to work on Sunday mornings. And if I really want to hear him, I just slap the CD into the computer and jam.

Is he still alive?

I saw him on German MTV in an interview recently, didn't know he had his own show? What kind of show is it?

It's a syndicated radio show, they play all old 80's "hair rock", like Twisted Sister, Poison, Cinderella, etc." The stuff I always listened to. Almost like a copycat of Kasey Casem Top 40, but with the older stuff. He takes dedications, tosses it lots of trivial information, and recalls some of the Top 10 Hit lists from back then.

Plenty of ideas there for my Radio show! In between tracks I could even take some calls on coins :D

Mind you, perhaps even Twisted Sister is still too far out for the average BBC 3 Counties listener!
