Post an MS60 Coin

MS60 is an interesting grade.

The scratches are on the holder not the coin.

I imagine that coin as an MS62/3 by today's grading standards. While not exactly nice, it isn't as baggy as most silver dollars I'm seeing in 60 holders.

The 34-S will get extra scrutiny though, especially in MS grades where it's already a fairly valuable coin even at MS60 (PG = $1950).

Here are two views of an MS-60 graded 1839-D quarter eagle. First the Doug Winter photo that shows it to its best advantage.

Then my photo which makes it look the worst it can be.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Cracked from old small ANACS MS60 holder. I put the sticker on the back of the page of the 7070 album the coin has resided in for nearly 30 years.
In my case, the scratch is on the coin, not the holder - a small pinscratch near the shoulder which I assume was the grade limiter at the time.

MS60's need love too.... Actually, there are very attractive coins residing under that designation.... Not sure why an AU58 gets all the hype and the MS60 gets nothing.... Cheers, RickO

Must say....so far the MS-60's posted are a bit surprising. In my head, MS-60 = "Technically uncirculated, but totally undesirable". Most of the above are still pretty sweet coins!

Never actually owned a 60, though. I have a few 61's that are "hairline limited", but not undesirable either!

Wish I had kept.

These are some nice, true MS 60s.

I think many of "yesterday's" nice MS60's are today's MS62/63 coins.

Deeply PL but baggy and a patch of hairlines on Rev. Very attractive coin
