Ever since PCGS started making + an option for 45-50-53-55-58 grades I've been fascinated to see what kind of things receive a plus. 53+ is the most absurd micro hair-splitting one in my opinion.

<< <i>GK: 54-D.....w0w!! Nice Dahlonega coins. >>
Thanks. The luster really shows up well on the 54-D. The others have lots of luster too, but the photographs don't capture it as well.

My only AU53 is this one and I would love to have the AU53 1852-C that was in the first post 8 years ago. It matches so well.

Was an NGC 55 at one time (before my time, but I have the tag), currently a PCGS 53

Nice one!

Just this single 53 in my collection…JA approved
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Still practicing with the lighting and camera. This is the best I can do for now.
Outstanding AU53 @OKbustchaser
