[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1373558, member: 22004"]Thanks Doug for that. You have been tireless as an excellent moderator on this board! My solution on how this issue could be resolved would be to examine a couple hundred AU50, 53, and 55 coins from various series and see if the 53 fits into a definite quality continuum or could be replaced. For examples, possibly the $20 Liberty series could be selected. Heritage has many of those in various dates. To me a "53" is like a 50 that has some additional luster, less marks, less friction, etc.. Here are some examples: [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&lotNo=6621[/url] [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1153&lotNo=4896[/url] [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&lotNo=6769[/url] [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&lotNo=6768[/url] And 50s: [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1158&lotNo=5782[/url] [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1128&lotNo=2662[/url] [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1151&lotNo=7202[/url] Clearly there are some undergraded coins.
