<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 432782, member: 6036&quot;]I do too. I love it. For that matter, we could take it all the way to <b>AU69</b> as far as I&#039;m concerned.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s well established around here that many great coins are available in AU58 holders, and those coins have far greater eye appeal than many low end MS coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s a shame that the math &quot;60 is greater than 58&quot; distorts perception in the Sheldon numbering system. But it&#039;s not really Sheldon&#039;s fault. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back when the dominant method of describing grade was adjectival (Good, Very Fine, etc.), the Red Book listed AU prices lower than low end Unc. That has been reinforced by every price guide I&#039;ve ever seen... they all imply that MS is better than AU. Perhaps the &quot;MS &gt; AU&quot; custom predates the Red Book.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We all know that&#039;s not really appropriate, as this thread shows so plainly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nice work, Lehigh ! :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
