<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1096857, member: 15199&quot;]An eternal question along many lines. If it doesn&#039;t show any evidence of circulation it can be graded mint state. Often I can get a roll of new coins such as cents from the bank and they are MS ( some are MS-damaged from the rolling process). This is the basis of the &quot;AU58/MS63&quot; question that traps so many collectors. The difference may be extremely small between the rather large grading gap. Even experienced collectors can get caught. You send your beautiful MS coin to PCGS or other and it comes back AU-58. I feel grading ability AU-55 or below is a much easier than 58 and above. Practice on the lower levels first until you feel confident to try the higher stages.</p><p><br /></p><p>jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
