Or as close as possible.
Hoard the keys.
A 62 should be a no-question uncirculated, since there are two uncirculated grades below it. Some AU58's may have more eye appeal, but I would sooner own a coin with lower eye appeal and no wear, than a coin with higher eye appeal and light wear.

Pretty sure a "nice piece" in an AU-58 holder is still a "nice piece" in the MS-62 holder. Maybe not as much so as compared to the slab grade, but it's still a "nice piece".

OK so what if I re did it and said for the same price would you buy a 58 or 62?
How about the same coin at the same price as a 58 with a CAC sticker or a 62 that won't CAC?

Actually, it's the same coin... only with a different number attached.

The coin needs to come back in the right grade for the coin, whatever that is.
I guess the question really is: What grade coin would you want to have?
Although it depends on the coin, in most cases I'd rather have 62 or 58 over 60 or 61.
62 or 58. Can't make an easy choice there.
So, the true coin collector solves the problem by getting both.
Maybe a grade of AU59 would be appropriate for very high quality coins with slight wear.

I would still take the 62.

Not in this case. There's no "I wouldn't entomb the coin" option.

But I guess I'd opt for the highest grade, what ever than means.

<< <i>How can the answer be anything other than 62? For the same coin it has to be 62 since that will bring more money on resale. Its the same coin when it returns in a slab as when you sent it in. >>
I dont know if I agree with this. There is a bigger market in the 58s. First thought on a 62 is, yes its uncirc, but there must be something wrong with it.
