Post your AU64's

Broadstruck

Here's some of my AU64's I had member Messydesk photograph a couple years ago.

All are actually older non pronged era holder AU58's.

Dang!!!!

This was a really nice AU58 that I sold for 63-64 money... does that count?

These are all real nice coins. Is part of the problem that no explanation is provided as to why the graded AU58 and not a higher MS? Hard to tell from the photos but any rub justifying the grade has to be minor.

And if they have rub, they have rub.

They can't be un-rubbed.

Wow ! @Broadstruck those quarters are definitely what I would call AU 64s... the only one that might not make the cut (IMHO) would be the 1918 but only due to what I'm thinking is a weak strike.

This is about as close as I can think of... sadly I sold it a couple years back. It sure was nice!

Here's one that was tagged at 63-65 by the majority of participants in a recent GTG:

And a half cent whose EAC grade might almost approach its PCGS grade:

Reconsidered.

Swwooooonnn! over those SLQ's.

Wow, very nice examples, thanks all for sharing !!!

I call this my AU63:

I think this one qualifies....1818 bust half PCGS AU58 CAC

Maybe this one qualifies.

Nice coins in this thread. That first 1920 SLQ in the OP's post is a looker.

MilkmanDan

Maybe closer to AU63 but we’ll give a little color bump okay?

To my, this almost defines AU-64: a beautiful "mint state" coin that obviously circulated. Our hosts graded it MS-64 Chop Mark.

So now........just how many hands must a coin pass through to be deemed circulated? Were Chinese merchants the only bodies to possess chopmark tools? Did their banks take the time to chopmark every Trade dollar that came in from overseas......perhaps directly from our government? I......haven't the slightest idea but found this quite enjoyable.

Here are mine:

The is the close date variety in 58.

This is the wide date variety in 58+.

Two really beautiful coins and even cooler to have them as a pair.

Is the idea of this thread that the AU58s here should be graded MS64 under market grading? Or is it that they weren't graded MS64, but could be graded AU64 if AU64 was formally supported?

Love that first 1798!

I like the Trade $.

A lot of these coins are awesome. Far nicer than some Uncs that I have seen. I would be willing to wager that many people that own or stock MS 64 coins with rub will never get them regraded for fear that they will come back as a 58. Grading is very complex and starting to grade things as AU 63 or 64 will just confuse people even more to the point that they will say see ya to the hobby. I know this is very simplicit and naive in this day and age but calling things Unc, Choice Unc, and Gem Unc and then putting a price on it as far as eye appeal goes is something I miss.

For transparency to the subject, the 1798 dollar is a 58+

I like the Trade $.

I acquired it from TDN about 18 months ago. It's gorgeous.

I can't post an "AU-64." It's in the back of the fridge with the green bologna and moldy hyped-up probiotic with fuzz on top.

At least you know you found a good home for it.
