<p>[QUOTE="Christobal, post: 2545614, member: 74392"]The AU rating, About Uncirculated, is also a tricky one. I've found that this rating gets looser with older coins. At some point, reality steps in and all of the collectors acknowledge that really old coins from that year were all circulated at some point, so they start calling what otherwise would be a worn coin AU. You're just not going to find 150+ year old coins in superior condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you find some buried treasure... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
