<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3021598, member: 112&quot;]The OP is correct. In today&#039;s world, the TPGs have gotten so bad that the vast majority of coins graded 60 to 63 are really AU coins. And I&#039;ve seen more than my share of 64s that are AU ! Even 10 years ago professional graders who work at the TPGs, and still do, were writing articles with titles like - Yesterday&#039;s AU Is Today&#039;s MS. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not that many years ago every single coin in a 60, 61, or 62 slab that you saw - looked like it came in 8th in an ax fight ! They were beat to death, literally covered with marks - but they had no wear ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Today, coins with those same grades have few marks, many of them hardly any by comparison. But each and every one of them has wear on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among people who know, really know, how to grade coins - all of this is common knowledge ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
