NGC Expert Comments:
Tsevni2’s humorously described “preowned” 20th Century Type set could be the final exam for a course in grading. Of course, it would be a trick exam because almost every answer would be AU-58 though tsevni2 muses how so many of the coins are just the slightest bit of rub away from MS-63 and higher grades. Tsevni2’s pleasure in putting together the circulated-coin-only version of the 20th century type set is evident in his detailed comments paired with excellent photos. Some of the examples of how thin the line between AU-58 and higher grades can be include an AU-58 1940 Jefferson nickel with full steps, a 1927 standing liberty quarter with a full head designation, and an AU-58 PL 1904 double eagle.
