Curious about the premium for AU58+ coins.
Since I can't search HA archives for AU58+ grades, thought I would pick the forums brain.
Any personal experience or anecdotes regarding what the premium can be??

You have to select from the categories on the left side... can't just be a text search. You have to pick AU58 as the grade. Then under another section they have modifiers like Plus, CAC, Star, etc. that you can further refine your search.
Edited to add that I just tried it, and it looks like HA.com got rid of that modifier to the search so that you can refine for Plus coins only... they still have Star, CAC and Gold CAC. Not sure why they would take out that option.

More recently, I had a 1955 DDO Lincoln Cent in PCGS AU58+ that I sold relatively quickly. That one was a pop 10 in in AU58+ and it sold for about a 33% premium over a regular AU58 and the price was closer to the average price of an MS62BN or MS63BN.

Think like a dealer. Buy like a dealer.
Really all depends on the bidders/buyer.
If I want to keep up with the Joneses I need to secure me one!

On the "plus" side, most AU58+ coins I've seen in my series (half cents) really are extremely nice coins. Since the plus grades are not given as often to circulated grade coins, I guess they have to be great to get the graders' attention.

Here is a link to the 1894 in PCGS AU58+
1894 Liberty Nickel PCGS AU58+
For the Liberty Nickels, the 1894 sold for MS65 money when auctioned at Heritage. It did earn a number one spot (only due to me not being able to find a 12-S in AU58)

Wow!
Sheridan Downey recently auctioned an 1836 lettered edge half dollar in 58+ for $3,025 (winning bidder's maximum was $5,000). Price guide for a 58 is $850.

If you don't care about the registry points, the 58+ is kind of a bummer grade because of the premium that gets associated with the +. I remember the coin Lance mentioned quite well and thought, that'll go for moon money because of the +...was a little shocked when I saw the $5,000 maximum bid. It certainly would have gone for strong money even without the +...just have to wonder what it might have brought as a plain old 58 (or even a 62).
