As a sometimes-confused ebay seller I can tell you exactly how this happens. You sell and AU58 coin. Later, you have an MS62 coin. It's probably a different date. So you take the old auction, change the date, change the grade, and put it up. But you missed one place where the grade was referenced and now you have two different grades in your auction. This can be edited so it can be fixed. The worst is when you have the wrong grade in the Subject. After a bid the subject can't be edited so you have to cancel the bids, take down the auction and relist it.
That coin has some serious circulation wear to even hit AU status.....especially on the reverse...so much is said here as far as buying the coin and not the holder...how about looking at the coin and not reading the sellers description...
I think the guy is possibly just trying to be honest. We've seen coins posted on this board that could be AU58.... or MS62/63 depending on the day, grader, etc. It does look like some rub/wear to me.... I'd call it AU50. But not that bad of a strike for a 1926-S
I think what he is trying to say is who ever he bought it from had it listed as a MS62, but he believes it is a AU-58. Either way it looks no beter the AU-53 to me!
