<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3174577, member: 19165&quot;]I think the upside down coin pictures are an interesting experiment in grading. It makes us think less about the design, and how attractive the design is, and focus more on the actual condition of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between AU and MS is that AU has wear. You&#039;ll see traces of that in the fields and on the high points of the coin (usually, Liberty&#039;s cheek, hair, and the eagle&#039;s breast on a Morgan dollar). I see no wear on your coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d give this coin an MS-63 grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, if you want to learn how to grade coins, I strongly suggest you check out my book, linked in my signature below. It will explain in detail all of the terms we use like wear, luster, contact marks, eye appeal, and how to evaluate a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
