[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 754746, member: 16510"][b]I know how no other way to do this other than look at thousands of coins[/b] I know of no other way to do this other than look at thousands of coins. Even then it will depend on: Which series, classic or modern, copper of not, raw coins, graded already, and how do they often come nice??? Kepping it more simple here is what I do. IMO an MS-60, 61, 62 is a grade given to a problem mint state coin, generally a coin with two many marks, hits, spots etc. These grade coins I do not buy - I've learned that if they do not please me they will not please others and only with a rare coin (there are very few of these) should it be considered. On almost any series you can wait for a high 63, 64. A MS-63 can sometimes be a 64 so it pays to look closely at these. A MS-64 is a nice coin, never a gem but an overall nice coin that will please most who see it. Then an, MS-65 is even nicer than a 64, sometime a lot sometime just a bit. Hope this helps you - don't forget, a true original nice AU-58 is most often a better looking coin than MS-60, 61, 62 and cheaper also.[/QUOTE]
