<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1596205, member: 2972&quot;]I think anyone who graded that coin less than MS needs to really pay attention to the quote above.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will add this:&nbsp; When you&#039;re looking at a coin and you&#039;re not sure if it is MS or AU, check two things.&nbsp; First, the luster in the fields.&nbsp; If it is not impaired, the coin will be graded MS by the TPGs just about every time.&nbsp; Second, look at the rims.&nbsp; AU coins virtually always have nicked rims.&nbsp; If the rims are pristine and the field luster is all there, you can take it to the bank that the coin will grade MS by the TPGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line: When trying to decide between AU and MS grades... Pay less attention to high point wear -- it will only confuse you -- and focus more on field luster and rims.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
