[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 590495, member: 5233"]I have no doubt that your AU58 Indian looks better than some MS examples...with better luster and such. But, those Indian's are very hard to grade. I believe you said it is a PCGS graded coin. When a coin is graded AU58 it means that it has excellent eye appeal and would be a nice MS coin if it didn't have a very minor hint of wear. Based on the fact that it is in a PCGS slab...I'll bet it has a very small rub somewhere that knocked it down to AU58 from MS65 or so. For a coin to be MS, it must have [b]no wear[/b]. I completely agree that your coin looks great but I'll bet if you look close you will find a tiny rub. That means the coin can't be MS. Because PCGS is so reputable, I would give the benefit of the doubt that there is wear on it. ;) IMHO, AU58 coins can be some of the best deals because you get a coin that blows many MS coins out of the water with eye appeal for AU money.[/QUOTE]
