    62.

    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.

    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.

    MS62. Is this some kind of IQ test?

    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".

    If a close price spread, then 62, 58 , 61 and finally 60.

    "If a close price spread, then 62, 58 , 61 and finally 60." So you are saying for the same exact coin you would prefer a lower grade be assigned to it? i dont understand.

    So who finds it surprising that 1 out of 3 people would rather have a 58?
  • mozinmozin Posts: 8,755 ✭✭✭
    Since I already own the coin, obviously I want it to come back MS62. This poll doesn't make much sense.

    OK so what if I re did it and said for the same price would you buy a 58 or 62?
  • GrumpyEdGrumpyEd Posts: 4,749 ✭✭✭
    I'd rather have the 62.


    How about the same coin at the same price as a 58 with a CAC sticker or a 62 that won't CAC?

    It will depend upon the look of the coin, but would rather have a coin in a 62 holder.

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

    Sort of a funny question.

    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.
  • OverdateOverdate Posts: 7,157 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The problem with the AU58 grade is that it can be assigned to coins across a wide band of quality. At minimum, I would expect that an AU58 coin would grade MS63 without the wear. But an otherwise MS70 coin with slight wear would also be a candidate for the AU58 grade.

    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.

    I can't really answer. I buy coins with eye appeal, not grades.

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

    with very little spread, why submit for grading?

    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.

    It's best to be outside of plastic in those grades. This allows for negotiating room. Since price spread keeps a coin from changing hands, there's little use for plastic in this regard. image Agree or disagree, it's what my thoughts are.
