<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C G Memminger, post: 2016837, member: 71506&quot;]For common date silver and gold coins, the spike in metal prices between 2000-2012 essentially eliminated the distinction in value of lower-to middle grades.&nbsp; and for some coins, the lower UNC grades were only slightly higher than junk.&nbsp; examples:&nbsp; 1881-S Morgan or&nbsp; 1881-S $10 goldie:&nbsp; Even now, there is very little diff between F and AU.&nbsp; Two years ago, the irrelevent grades extended up to 62 or 63 for these coins.&nbsp; But the 1/3 crash in metals has restored meaning to the lower UNC grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure how much more &quot;restoration&quot; I can stomach...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
