<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26222306, member: 153164&quot;]I have no idea why graders would punish a weak strike. Even on the best-looking 58, you can still generally tell by the luster if it&#039;s AU or MS. I had a 1902 Morgan dollar like this, because of the luster I concluded it was a 58 before I sold it. The LCS I sold it to seemed to agree.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s something like a really early Walker, then most certainly so. If it&#039;s something like this 1964-D cent, then......... LOL, I have hijacked your boat, buddy.</p><p><br /></p><p>On that particular one, I would call that no better than a 64 RB. Even then, it bids at only $1.40. I might give $7 to throw it in my $10 slabs at coin shows but not a penny more. Coins like that are a loss for who got it graded but a boon to cheap slab buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do wonder if AU-58&#039;s like these Memorial cents are preferably red for an everyman&#039;s collection. Might be a topic of debate between who you ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
