<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 429718, member: 15309&quot;]Jack is right on, AU64 is a conceptual grade not an actual grade.&nbsp; However, there are AU58 coins residing in both NGC and PCGS&nbsp; MS64 Holders.&nbsp; These AU coins are market graded by the TPG&#039;s because the TPG believes strongly that the coin will be valued in the market place they same as an actual MS64.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have an example of one, but I do have an example of an AU58 that could very easily be in an MS63 holder.&nbsp; The following coin is a key date 1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Walking%20Liberty%20Half%20Dollars/1921-DWalkerAU58Obverse1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Walking%20Liberty%20Half%20Dollars/1921-DWalkerAU58Reverse1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Walking%20Liberty%20Half%20Dollars/1921-DWalkerAU58Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You may ask why this coin was not included in the OP.&nbsp; The answer is simple, it sold for $10,925 which is just below the wholesale value of an MS63 at $11,250.&nbsp; BTW, Numismedia wholesale for an AU58 is $3,850.&nbsp; IMO, anyone who believes in market grading should not be upset if this coin resided in an MS63 holder, because that is what it is worth.&nbsp; This coin is the quintessential AU64.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
