[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 738447, member: 17557"]Been thinking about this post, for a while now. Wanted to bring it back up again... The grading of these coins are so hard! Here is the previous AU that I had owned... [IMG]http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/191125PCGSAU58.jpg[/IMG] There are good details on this coin, and I never saw wear, ever! Only thing that made it an AU, was probably the breaks in the luster, although, I'd be willing to bet 60's are graded with those same breaks. Now here is the MS62 I currently own... The only difference, in hand, is obviously the color, but the luster, it is much fuller, and no definite breaks. [IMG]http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/190925PCGSMS62.jpg[/IMG] I feel that the 62 I own, has less details than my AU58, when you get down to the "nitty-gritty" Look at the areas of the shoulder, on both coins, the AU58 is much sharper, while the MS62, almost appears to have wear, although it could be a weak strike, I do doubt it. I did get a good deal on the MS62, $500, back in the summer months, I believe... Just comes to show you, how tiny the differences can be from grade to grade in this coin! AU55-58 are hard to decipher, AU58 and MS60 are hard to decipher, and even sometimes 58-62's can be hard to tell apart.[/QUOTE]
