<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2637321, member: 24314&quot;]<span style="color: #0059b3">Folks who grade this AU-58 are correct; those that grade it MS are correct.&nbsp; That is what the &quot;commercial&quot; grading as practiced at TPGS&#039;s has done!&nbsp; I&#039;m an old timer.&nbsp; Therefore, the rub (change of color) on the high points of the obverse knocks it out of MS.&nbsp; I&#039;m AU-58.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I believe a TPGS would assign a grade of MS-62 or 63 to the coin.&nbsp; I personally would sell it as an MS-63&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> an sleep like a baby when I returned from the bank.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0059b3">Marks <span style="color: #b30000">DO NOT</span> and <span style="color: #b30000">WILL NEVER</span> drop a coin out of the Mint State range in a grading seminar or in a technical sense.&nbsp; However, some folks will <span style="color: #b300b3">drop the price</span> of a MS coin closer to the price of an AU if the MS coin has detracting marks.&nbsp; IMO, the tiny hits on the rev. (not the important side) will have no effect on this coin&#039;s grade.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
