    No need to apologize.
    You are accurate in your assessment.

    Dang! I've been dismissive of this grade before but some of these coins appear a bit undergraded... I'm not seeing co tact marks on the $5 Indian that would bring it down to 60...

    @pmh1nic , I agree.

    Here is just the coin. I've seen 62 and 3's look worse.


    It looks AU to me.

    Do I interpret that to mean the assigned 60 is a reflection that it’s not truly an MS coin?

    It’s a weird way to market grade if that’s the case. Normally you hear of sliders getting into 62 holders. To get a 60, you normally need a lot of contact marks on a coin that’s still technically UNC.

    I rather have a nice looking 58.

    Years ago a coin that had some rub but was otherwise a nice coin without any distracting contact marks was given the AU-58 grade. You could find some really nice coins for a good price in that grade. But for the rub the eye appeal was much better than some MS-62 and 63 coins. I’d intentionally look for AU-58’s to get a nice coin at a good price

    Unfortunately (IMHO) that practice was changed. Today a coin can have significant contact marks but if it has almost full mint luster it gets a 58 grade.

    No, I don’t think that was the intention. I’d guess that many people think the coin looks uncirculated. I’m just not one of them.

    What grade would you give it based on the picture?

    AU58, though I might have a different opinion in-hand and/or with clearer pictures.

    I much prefer the AU-58 grade over the MS-60.

    Either @PCGS_Moderator took Friday off or isn't willing to ban because IP addresses (or something) aren't incriminating enough.

    But there could not possibly be a more obvious alt situation, even from the other CAC/Rick snow/together hating troll who comes by from time to time.

    I believe that PCGS Moderator had the week off. He hasn't responded to my PMs all week.

    Also, the BST troll/scammer comes to mind.

    I'm just really surprised blitzdude hasn't shown up yet to accuse us of being forum police.

    Right.... :p I try to help where I can by PMing the moderator, and usually that fixes the problem. My uncle is a police officer, so maybe I got it from him. :D
