<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 5124876, member: 73983"]The only expansion I could possibly foresee or should I say overlap, would be the AU grades. More specifically the AU-58 possibly AU-55. The grade itself would not change, but a secondary surface grade could be added. Because you can have a really nice looking AU-58 that has the surfaces of say an MS-65 or MS-66, but has a very light wear on the high points. Conversely you can have an AU-58 that is essentially an MS-60 beat to hell coin with just a touch of wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example... AU-58 (65 surfaces) or AU-58 (62 surfaces) or the perfect AU coin AU-58+ (68 surfaces). Something along those lines. To me the MS designations are already self explanatory. An MS-60, is something I would avoid like the plague or really anything from MS-60 - MS-62 for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know, I am just throwing this out there without a lot of thought this morning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
