<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2092963, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t think that is what he is saying; he is talking about a specific series of coins, Saints, which all suffer some measure of high point rub.&nbsp; He has a very specific standard regarding the way he collects Saints.&nbsp; To extrapolate his view in order envision lower graded coins valued more than higher graded coins is not very realistic IMO.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I would really rather not get into a debate about roll friction and Saints again on this forum as I have had this argument at least twice in the past.&nbsp; Please read the following thread if interested in the debate.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/totally-confused-difference-between-proof-and-ms.213884/page-2" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/totally-confused-difference-between-proof-and-ms.213884/page-2">totally-confused-difference-between-proof-and-ms</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And you certainly don&#039;t need to convince me about the virtues of AU58 coins, I wrote a thread about that subject a few years ago as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-secret-to-collecting-key-dates-the-elusive-au64-slider.41621/#post429249" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-secret-to-collecting-key-dates-the-elusive-au64-slider.41621/#post429249">The Secret to Collecting Key Dates (The Elusive AU64 Slider)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I will say that the reason why AU64 coins drive a premium over the lower MS grades is for one of two reasons.&nbsp; First, people believe the coin is actually an MS coin with cabinet/roll friction.&nbsp; Second, the eye appeal of the coin is superior to that of a lower MS coin.&nbsp; But the majority of AU58 coins across all series sell for lower prices than MS60-MS61 coins because they don&#039;t have the requisite eye appeal to drive a premium price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
