<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 4162827, member: 46237&quot;]I agree. What we do now doesn&#039;t make much sense. If AU is always 50-58 exclusively, then there is no benefit to saying AU55 over just saying 55 without the prefix. AU vs MS on its own already describes whether a coin has wear or not. Decouple them and let the numeric grade do what it should be doing, to describe an increase in quality corresponding to an increase in numerical value.</p><p><br /></p><p>AU 65 - a gem with a touch of high point rub on the obverse, and clean fields</p><p>MS 50 - a technically uncirculated but extremely baggy coin with some hairlines and unappealing toning</p><p><br /></p><p>It conveys the grade in a much more meaningful way, than current market grading trying to shoehorn the first coin into an MS62&nbsp; (or worse, an AU58 for technical grading) and the second coin into an MS60, when those grades don&#039;t do either coin justice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
