<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 590517, member: 5233&quot;]Well, your statement that the coin is MS60 and not AU58 indicates to me that you still have quite a bit to learn about grading (and I mean no disrespect by that, we all had to start somewhere).&nbsp; The truth about AU58 coins is they are almost always nice high grade MS coins that have a touch of wear.&nbsp; They are closer to MS65 than MS60.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For a coin to grade MS60 it needs to have no wear but be fairly marked up.&nbsp; Typically, MS60 coins have lower eye appeal because they have dings.&nbsp; Luster can be decent but isn&#039;t necessarily booming.&nbsp; MS65 coins have no wear and have very little marking.&nbsp; Luster on an MS65 coin must be very nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which description does your coin sound more like?&nbsp; I&#039;ll bet it&#039;s the MS65.&nbsp; The reason is...is if you take that MS65 and give it a small rub it becomes an AU58.&nbsp; If you give the MS60 the same rub it is not an AU58 because it has too many bag marks and dings.&nbsp; So, I doubt your coin has MS60 looks.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is why many collector&#039;s will jump on a AU58 coin.&nbsp; It has the eye appeal of a choice BU without the price.&nbsp; AU58 coins are the best bang for the buck IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given a high resolution picture, I doubt I could pick out the wear.&nbsp; Coins like this can be very hard to find it in hand let alone in a picture.&nbsp; I imagine it is probably there because I have faith that the PCGS graders can see minor wear but it sounds very invisible which is a good thing.&nbsp; Enjoy your coin, in all likelihood you have a coin that looks MS65 for a fraction of the cost.&nbsp; :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
