<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 1897527, member: 56370&quot;]I&#039;m only talking about the 2 coins in this thread.&nbsp; The MS61 has at least 3 very prominent gouges, 2 of which are in the fields.&nbsp; The AU58 does not have any major hits that stick out, and it is attractively toned even if it were dipped at one time, so yes, that is the coin I would rather buy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not making any wild assumptions because I know that there are plenty of nice looking 61&#039;s and crappy looking 58&#039;s out there.&nbsp; I returned a 58 recently (an early Soviet 50 Kopek) because it had a fresh new scratch across the field that didn&#039;t show up in the seller&#039;s photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, it is still my understanding that a 58 is supposed to have minimal marks and above average eye appeal.&nbsp; Whether the TPG&#039;s consistently apply this rule would be another conversation...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
