[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 3141309, member: 20480"]You're right. Most people are unfamiliar with homely AU58 coins because most coins in such holders are not so rare. Many common coins in AU58 are not necessarily worth submitting, so anything that doesn't have a great look probably remains raw. Any 1884-S Morgans approaching mint state are bound to be submitted because of the potential upside, so that date discloses the true minimum requirements of the grade, while common dates do not. If you'd used images of common date Morgans in AU58, they would likely be more attractive coins. By the way, there are not as many different coins in the above images as it appears. Six of the above pairs of images of the 1884-S Morgans are exactly the same coin submitted multiple times.[/QUOTE]
