<p>[QUOTE=&quot;schnickelfritz48, post: 7248188, member: 105498&quot;]Eddie is spot on. The grading of circulated coins needs to return, like the rest of this country, to its fundamental roots.&nbsp; Grading needs to reflect wear with other serious negative factors being considered as well such as environmental damage, graffiti, holes, bent, whizzed, scuffed, polished, cleaning, and other irregular and unnatural&nbsp; characteristics that would detract from the value of a coin assigned a particular grade. Personally, perceived &quot;luster&quot; is meaningless when assigned to a circulated coin.</p><p>Based on the wear as seen in the photos, that 1858 SLH is an AU-55+. If the stars on the right side of the obverse were stronger, I&#039;d bump it up to AU-58.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
