[QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 25411536, member: 153164"]I agree. Most have lived their life in a bank bag, like a Morgan dollar, and just barely escape being problem coins. I've seen some AU58 coins that look better than a 63, which is one reason why some can be undervalued. I personally have a couple of things to say about an AU58. They can definitely be undervalued, and I guarantee you that this is a common grade over at CAC from people who are shooting for the elusive MS. I don't think I've seen an AU58 that will sell for more than a MS60, but some, in my opinion, can be capable of selling for more than a 62. Holy cow, man - this is what the forums like this need! I really do appreciate how you gave a thorough explanation of each question. I believe with undergraded coins, this may be why a lot of PCGS "OGH" coins sell for more than their newer counterparts. I am wondering something, though: do you own a CAC-graded coin? I've never seen one in person, and it would be cool to see the grading up close. If you own one, I would definitely love to hear your opinions on the grading. There's never been a truer statement. One example is people likely ending up with coins they don't care for when they are trying to build a PCGS or NGC registry set. What you said, though, about that you only need to please oneself, should be one of the 10 coin collecting commandments in itself. Overall, if you prefer the look of an AU58 over a MS60, I say to get the AU58. After all, at the end of the day, we coin collectors are truly not competing against anyone. ;)[/QUOTE]
