Okay, I'll add an example that is guaranteed to be controversial among our members. I don't care for major sellers of AGE & ASE promoting...
Agreed . . . I just want to make sure that the more impressionable among us see this distinction discussed early on.

I think it all depends on the extents of your type set. If you plan to include a lot of coins that will barely be within budget in the AU/MS...
Thanks Larry, I appreciate the effort. - Mike
It looks like it may have had a couple of spots removed, but I like it a lot better than 64 Larry, and think it would grade 66 if it isn't already...
