Message:: [QUOTE="Mark T, post: 866240, member: 20061"]Leigh , I can not answer why it only received an MS 62. That is splitting hairs for me.As for the Au 58 –VS MS 63 comment. That is very typical for anyone grading Bust Half dollars. By posting that comment I did not think my coin was Au 58, I though people might grade it as such based on a photo. You know we see the same thing all the time on the NGC board. A perfect example was that 1829 Bust in the old Rattler that was recently posted. I posted that the coin was either Au 58 or MS 63 because from the photo I was not sure, even thought I thought is was a MS 63. My experience with CAC has been if there is something wrong with a coin for the grade they will find it. I have had some that I thought were a shoe in only to be rejected. Upon further examination after being told why it did not CAC I found the problems with the coin. John A is great at picking up some of the most subtle items that can change or confirm the grade. My argument here is the coin was graded MS 62 by PCGS and the grade was confirmed by CAC. Calling the coin Au 50 before knowing this is one thing , defending that grade after I posted the assigned grade is another.  They were of by 5 or 6 grades depending on how you count if they called it AU 50 and the grade was MS 62 . :smile[/QUOTE]
