<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7869718, member: 103207"]What I find interesting after reading a number of posts we all are going back and forth on our opinions. Which is good. I do understand that are some AU 58 coins are in slabs grading as high as MS 64. I think those coins could be called AU 59+. They are generally really nice coins that if put in an AU slab would be a disservice to the coin. I my honest opinion there is no coin that is actually uncirculated unless they were taken right off the press and placed in a holder and never came in contact with another coin. Modern proofs would be a good example of a coin that never touched another coin. A coin with bag makes could be considered worn. Technically it's wear. However, we need to be practical and we accept our current grading system. We could go crazy trying to figure out whether a coin is UNC or is it really AU 59. It's called market grading and I'm fine with that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
