An excuse to call a lightly circulated coin as uncirculated.
Unless your cabinet is lined with sandpaper or metal, it's not going to significantly break the luster of a coin. And if it does, it will only be rims, not the main devices (save for a few exceptions).

Those are not hairlines. That is no scratch.
They are toning streaks.
a little will not break the luster sliding on them for decade upon decade
can.
I agree that wear is wear but when the wear is a sort of polishing and
only on the highest points of an old coin it is usually caused by sliding
around in cabinets. It's a good descriptive term even if it can be a little
misleading.
