<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cplradar, post: 6593895, member: 108985&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about Morgan Dollars, and I&#039;ve only owned a few that were give to me as presents, including an MS66.&nbsp; But I do know how to __read__ the standard and I am not being rude.&nbsp; AU58s **are** more perfect than MS65&#039;s,***by the ANA standard, as it is written***.&nbsp; So what your saying is 100% correct, but doesn&#039;t contradict what I said.&nbsp; MS Morgans have bagmarks, but AU58s should have few if any, and certainly not rim dents.&nbsp; Again, this is part of the ANA standard on page 26 of the 6th edition guild.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you are not being mindful of is that AU58s are often confused with higher graded coins (it says this in the standard as well), and that there is no continium of &quot;perfection&quot; from circulating states to to Mint Stats to Proofs.&nbsp; Each have different standards.&nbsp; So if someone says, this coin might be an AU58 or even and MS60, that would make no sense.&nbsp; If the coin can be viewed as a true AU58, and it terns out to be instead MS, it will grade much higher than a low MS grade because it is nearly perfect coin with minimal and hardly noticable wear (as an AU grade) and near phsyical perfection otherwise.&nbsp; It has to grade in the higher MS grades, like and MS67+.&nbsp; Therefor, this AU58 grade, in my opinion, according the ANA standards, is misgraded and should be more like an AU54-55, which is an outstanding coin.&nbsp; FWIW, I would always choose an AU-58 over and MS-62.&nbsp; I hope that clarifies what I wrote.&nbsp; Peace be with you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
