Message:: [QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 2048136, member: 7638"]Yes it is a little PL,  but to be honest much of the light frost on the obv is gone.  I have noticed that a lot of coins now being slabbed as AU58 by both services don't fit the classic definition of that grade, namely just a trace of rub on the high points. Many of these coins, I think, have been lightly polished in the fields but are viewed as M.A. by the TPG's.  I recently returned a 1,000$ coin I was sent on approval, it was  graded AU 58 and the obv fields were clearly polished. When the markets demand AU58's, by golly, the grading services will provide!  Collectors who want true "AU 63's"  will have to be very very patient.[/QUOTE]
