<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2549449, member: 24314&quot;]And your point is that in this instance...?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how long you have been collecting or your skill level but I do know this:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. &quot;Time in&quot; means absolutely nothing for sure.&nbsp; Many collectors/dealers with decades of &quot;time in&quot; are ignorant!&nbsp; I have read an example of this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2. The &quot;line&quot; between &quot;no trace pf wear&quot; and a &quot;market acceptable Uncirculated&quot; grade is very slim in most cases.&nbsp; That&#039;s why we each should have personal standards.&nbsp; One auction lot will be graded Unc; yet receive an AU grade at a TPGS or from buyers.&nbsp; You have illustrated the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. I think we&#039;ll all agree that there are hundreds of thousands of cases where a lot is listed conservatively knowing that the coin is a market acceptable Unc! IMO, the coin you posted may have a &quot;shot&quot; at MS-62 (most U.S. 62&#039;s are net graded due to cleaning or show signs of slight circulation).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
