Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:53 pm Rothery, A coin that has hundreds of bagmarks but no wear will always be an MS-60 at the lowest(or UNC details), and a coin that has almost no marks but a small amount of wear will always be an AU-58 coin at the best. It's sometimes very very hard to discern whether or not a coin has wear, so someone may say it's either AU-58 if it does or MS-60-something if it does not. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2957 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 7:11 pm One other idea is to look at any denomination from the cent to dollar and inquire if the particular issue has known weak strikes or other coining issues which might affect the observed grade. So for another example could be various Indian/buffalo nickels from the 20s which have known weak strikes, even for gloriously high grades. This thread is great by the way...
