[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 2755877, member: 29643"]MS60s are rare for a different reason than PR01 coins. PR01 coins are inherently rare, as there has to be enough wear for the coin to be devoid of most (all?) detail in devices while still somehow able to determine a date and mintmark (or absence) for the coin. By contrast, MS60/MS61 coins are rare, since there's NO INCENTIVE to submit them. AU58 coins look better than most coins that would grade MS60/61, so even the concept of a slider is a bit flawed... slider coins would be AU58 or MS62+, depending on the grader. An MS60 coin that was determined to be circulated would likely be somewhere near XF40 in grade.[/QUOTE]
