Message:: [QUOTE="Aslpride, post: 1539160, member: 36954"]I am sticking to ANA Grading Standards and odd enough as I have first print of Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection written by PCGS. For AU58, it did stated, "Slight friction is seen on the breasts and left knee." For AU50, it did stated, "The breasts, knee and other parts of the body slightly flat. The field has friction, except in protected areas." Let me check on MS60. Here's what it stated, "Heavy and numerous marks appear over the surface." The second coin picture you posted can be qualify MS60 because there's no wear on high point, but I don't know about reverse. I did remember one thread in this forum did discuss on AU58 and MS60. AU58 typical to look beautiful and luster than MS60, but have wear on high point. Some collection will pay premium on AU58 than MS60. I think we should stick with black and white instead of "gray area" in coin grading system.[/QUOTE]
