Since both PCGS and NGC use market grading to assign a grade to a coin, I see more and more sliders are in MS holders, as high as MS66 with a rub image

What do you think about AU-6x grades? I know these grades are not defined in ANA grading standards. Does PCGS/NGC use/care ANA grading standards? image

I believe with AU-6x, a coin is not technical mint state could have a better representative (I mean its value and its state). A good example is that if the knee of the liberty of a standing liberty quarter is not round, it should not be called MS. What's your take? Definitely, there is no AU-70 coin image


Maybe PCGS would like this idea since tons of nice AU-58 coins will be re-submitted for re-grading imageimage

    No offense to you, but I personally think it is a disgusting idea.

    I thought that AU-58 was supposed to take care of this problem. Possibly I could see an AU-59 to denote the superlative AU coins but then again, AU-58 should have been reseerved for that as well.

    The other possibility is the establishing of a PQ adjective to the AU grades to give it a Premium market analysis qualifier, whatever that means.

    AU coins should have their strike and surfaces graded also, but AU-60 etc would be
    cumbersome and confusing.
