<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 323733, member: 3726&quot;]Well - I personally think PCGS was accurate.&nbsp; You have a combined weak strike with little wear on the high points only. The only real breaks in the luster I see are on the high points.&nbsp; I seem to recall I had a discussion once with GDJMSP about weak strikes and eye appeal.&nbsp; I actually applied what he told me when looking at this coin and knowing about the weak strikes.&nbsp; It almost seems like you are reversing what you said in the other post(<a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=25531&amp;highlight=1879&amp;page=2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=25531&amp;highlight=1879&amp;page=2" rel="nofollow">here is the other thread</a>).&nbsp; I do not see enough wear to knock it down to XF(remember this is my own opinion) and if there is even more luster with the coin in hand, I say it makes it AU58.&nbsp; Not saying I am right or wrong - just trying to learn more, especially since I like gold - yet I have not purchased any of the older coins since they seem so hard to grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
