[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1871665, member: 15929"]That's what I was thinking. The AU58 and MS62 grades are almost interchangeable in that, if the grader is not "sure" that what is being seen is the result of a weak strike or actual wear, then it gets a 62. If the luster is "for sure" gone on the high areas of the coin then it gets a 58. Keeping in mind that a weakly struck coin may not have mint luster on the high spots which, presumably, did not fill the die.[/QUOTE]
