<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 2229161, member: 29643&quot;]Without going into too much detail, I&#039;ve never seen a PL designation on an AU coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond that, often times, collectors forget that a few light strikes on a dime will affect the grade a lot more than the same number of strikes on a dollar coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this specific case, while a Morgan dollar may look similar to the Hawaii quarter, you&#039;re likely over-compensating for the size of the coin. I think our brains do this naturally when focusing on smaller images. Essentially, this makes us think an AU58 quarter should be an MS62/63, based upon how an MS63 Morgan looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember, hits hurt grades more on smaller fields, and it doesn&#039;t help that there&#039;s some rub on the beard. That probably forced the grader to push the coin from the MS61 to the AU58 range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
