I am pretty confident at this point my MS65 is actually AU58. My NGC MS61, and PCGS MS63, are very solid (IMO) on their grading, the NGC MS63 is also questionable. Is has a very low level of luster compared to the other 3. It is no where near is nice as the PCGS MS63 is. I probably need to look for a really solid graded MS64 or MS65 to start using as a comparison. [IMG]http://www.soundbuggy.com/Eric/coins/Dollars/Morgans/Graded%20Morgans.JPG[/IMG][/QUOTE]
