<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3296655, member: 46237&quot;]<i></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Anyone who says there are two scales is absolutely, unquestionably correct. When an MS coin gets rub it drops off of the 60-70 scale and enters the 1-58 scale at the top, <i>regardless of where it was on the 60-70 scale</i>. That&#039;s the very definition of a two-scale system.</p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the people getting hung up on wear my friend. A terribly outdated way to think about coins. You&#039;ve got a beautiful coin and you&#039;re squinting at it looking all over for a tiny hint of rub so you can put it down on the circulated scale instead of the MS scale. <i>Utter nonsense.</i> The TPGs have been moving in the direction of common sense for a while and they should continue to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, AU58 is a terrible grade that shouldn&#039;t even exist. AU55 is fine - wear visible to the unaided eye. Great. I get it. More power to you. If there is wear on the coin that must be scrutinized with a loupe to detect, it&#039;s not there.
