<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 432285, member: 15309&quot;]OK, OK.&nbsp; There are only a few hours left in the poll anyway.&nbsp; I consider this coin part of my numismatic education.&nbsp; It was one of the first raw coins that I ever purchased on E-Bay.&nbsp; I paid MS63 money for it because I believed it was uncirculated and the photos were not nearly as good as the ones I am showing you.&nbsp; I received the coin and without even really examining it, rushed it off to PCGS.&nbsp; When it came back I was surprised, but immediately noticed why the coin was graded AU.&nbsp; Years later, I have a different feeling about this coin.&nbsp; Personally, I don&#039;t think the obverse qualifies as AU58.&nbsp; PCGS defines the AU grades as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>AU53:&nbsp; Full detail with friction over 1/2 or more of the surface, very slight flatness on the high points.</p><p><br /></p><p>AU55:&nbsp; Full detail with friction on less than 1/2 of the surface, mainly on the high points.</p><p><br /></p><p>AU58:&nbsp; Full detail with only slight friction on the high points.</p><p><br /></p><p>The remaining luster on the coin is outstanding, but the wear on the obverse is rather obvious and not solely restricted to the high points.&nbsp; I would grade this coin AU55/58.&nbsp; PCGS was generous with this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Walking%20Liberty%20Half%20Dollars/WalkingLibertyHalfDollar1941-SPC-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
