Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 734179, member: 6036"]A great man once said "All generalities are bad" <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Exercise great caution when invoking the "AU58 > MS61" thinking. While I agree it is often true, it is often untrue. There is some good thinking on this thread, but Leadfoot put it best when he re-played the "buy the coin, not the number" card. Blindly saying "AU58 is better than MS61" violates that rule.  I can think of two areas where "AU58 > MS61" is false more often than not - incuse Indian gold $2.5s and $5s and early Federal (pre-1838), particularly silver and gold. In those areas, I feel low MS tends to be better than high AU. I think "AU58 > MS61" is most often true in some very high profile areas - Morgans, Peace, and low gold (particularly $10s and $20s).[/QUOTE]
