<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 449956, member: 307&quot;]I must admit that technically you are correct and I am not. Strike depth plays far more into the grade differences between MS grades, and the actual remainder of the coin is what seperates the various grades of circulated coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>My habit is to tend to grade AU coins more like MS coins in that I pay more premuim to strike quality than I probably should. It is once in a while when you discuss things like this with an open mind and ear that one realizes that they are doing something wrong, and I must agree with you on this point. I am definately wrong on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, I would much rather own a sharply struck AU-58 than a poorly struck MS coin, but I would also prefer the well struck AU-53 coin over the AU-58 with a mushy strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>There... another thread killed...
