<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1448415, member: 22004&quot;]Here is a Bust coin I bought as an MS60: <a href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/51409/1831-Capped-Bust-Dime-PCGS-AU-55" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/51409/1831-Capped-Bust-Dime-PCGS-AU-55" rel="nofollow">http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/51409/1831-Capped-Bust-Dime-PCGS-AU-55</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Where is the wear? I don&#039;t see any. It looks like PCGS saw lack of some luster in the fields as evidence of wear...</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe NGC would like it as an MS60?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>&quot;MR: What are the toughest coins or series to grade? And what are the easiest?</b></p><p>MS: For me, Bust coins are very difficult to grade due to strike factors and the perception that cabinet friction may or not be actual rub. These coins were typically struck poorly, luster is often subdued.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
