<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1659624, member: 37839"]Ok, back on topic, as I am finding the immaturity beyond tiresome. It is clear that coins that are borderline create a dilemma for most of us. The majority of folks seem to think the coin is AU, and I agree. My opinion is that it would not cross as an MS coin with either PCGS or NGC--it would be an AU 58, in all likelihood. To me, MS 60 is a very theoretical grade--if a coin looks nice and shiny, but has lots of marks, and even a tiny, microscopic bit of wear or a poor strike combined with lots of marks, it could easily go AU. Likewise, it could have a small amount of rub,and be called MS just as easily. That is why this level of grade intrigues me, especially with a coin like this that makes a jump from a $500 coin in AU to a $2000-5000 value in low grade MS. THere are many examples of this, and I wanted to post this one, as it intrigues me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
