[QUOTE="900fine, post: 727751, member: 6036"]One of the prime reasons uncirculated coins are graded MS60 is bagginess. Here's one way to think about it - an MS60 is (supposedly) the worst mint state coin one can find, while an AU58 is the best circulated coin one can find. A lot of bad things can happen to a coin other than the first hint of rub, and many of things has happened to an MS60 coin. So illini420 is certainly right, but go farther - go beyond just "lustrous and shiny" to look at other elements of a coin's grade, notably surface preservation and strike. And yes, an AU58 coin is often more desirable than an MS60 coin.[/QUOTE]
