<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1747684, member: 36230&quot;]My opinion is that most (particularly TYII) become unattractive in grades less than Ch AU, but others surely disagree. The key here is to decide what appeals to you, but always get the best you can afford instead of focusing on a specific (labeled) grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for <i>&quot;noticeable differences&quot;</i> in AU grades, of course there are. If you do not like this so-called 53 (a questionable grade to begin with IMO), pass on it and keep looking. As for sticking with 58&#039;s, all depends on the coin in question. If a true slider and depending on the date/mint, I believe this grade can offer great value if not paying for its present niche demand, but if a questionably labeled 58, avoid and continue your search.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One thing I would like to suggest is that you research the series. You mentioned no date in the OP, but you should understand the average strike characteristics for individual dates, and if collecting as a set, search out better struck examples of usually weak dates. The average will always be average, so as already mentioned, search out the best example(s) you can afford instead of settling for something you may regret or will want to upgrade sometime down the road.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
