<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy29, post: 28921, member: 1113&quot;]Personally, I agree.&nbsp; But as with grade inflation and &quot;market grading&quot; elsewhere, an increasing number of AU-55ish coins are winding up in 58 holders just as a lot of true 58s are winding up in MS-61 and MS-62 holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>But seriously, there are a fair number of numismatists who believe there *should* be an AU-59 grade (or something like that) which indicates not just the slightest wear, but also premium eye appeal.&nbsp; This is largely because there is such a disparity in eye appeal (and market value) among AU-58 coins.&nbsp; Some are barely worth 55 money, if that, and others can easily sell for an MS-63 price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, if they strictly adhered to grading standards and didn&#039;t &quot;market grade&quot; 55s into 58 holders and true 58s into 62 holders, that wouldn&#039;t be necessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
