<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 24816048, member: 81795&quot;]Here are three comparisons to illustrate the difference between a AU and MS60-MS61. I don&#039;t know what really happened but my <i>guess</i> is the 60 and 61 were the first out of the hopper and into the bottom of the bag. They received the hits from the rest of the coins. The AU was last in and first out (of the bag). It went into and was quickly pulled out of circulation. That takes it out of the MS designation <i>but</i> it still received better handling than the MS coins.</p><p>IMO I&#039;d take the 58 over the 60-61. What Ms. Sperber did to get a 58 into an MS holder I can&#039;t explain. I&#039;d chalk it up to coin grading is a <i>subjective opinion</i> and collectors should learn to grade for themselves.</p><p>YMMV.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1588467[/ATTACH]</p><p>AU58</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1588468[/ATTACH]</p><p>MS60</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1588469[/ATTACH]</p><p>MS61</p><p><br /></p><p>llustrations courtesy of PCGS Photograde.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
