<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 160573, member: 112"]That's exactly why - because by using coins graded MS60 you won't be able to tell the difference. Typically coins graded lower MS - 60 thru 62 - are quite beat up. And coins graded as AU58 and often AU55 will look even better than the low grade MS coins. This why most collectors, when they are learning to grade properly, usually mistake an AU58 for an MS63 or better coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, if you learn what a properly graded MS64 coin looks like, you will hardly ever mistake an AU coin for an MS coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
