PF-58 ??

I thought I was fairly well versed in grading by this point, but I've never stumbled across a PF-58 before. What's up with that?

I have never seen that grade before, myself, but logically it's a barely-circulated proof

Proof coin with light wear

Sometimes called an "Impaired Proof."

I have always understood it to mean impaired proof also.

The slightest mishandling accident , which would cause a rub or luster break on the high point technically will get you a PF-58. Still a beautiful coin at a better price, I love 58's

Edit to add: If that had been a Morgan, it would be a PF- 53

Since proof is not a grade but a method of manufacture, an "impaired" or circulated proof coin will bear such a grade. Grades such as PF50 are not uncommon for some coins like the US Gobrecht dollar, for example.

The lowest I've seen was a PF08. That's right: a proof coin that had circulated down to VG level. It was kinda cool, actually.

I just sold an almost complete collection of circulated/ impaired proof 3 cent nickels. Most of the coins were F-12 through VF/EF.

It was one of the collest collections I've ever seen for a low circulated collection.

And on this con that would be a generous grade - 53/55 would be better grade for this one...
