I am still new at this, compared to alot of you guys/gals, so bare with me....

I have seen alot of certified AU Morgans from the 1884-S series. Mainly because i have been researching to see if i need to certify my coin, see prior post, or buy an already certified one for my Morgan Date set.

Anyway, what exactly do TPG's look for in different levels of AU?

I only ask this because i have seen some AU58's that look no better then my 50's. I have also seen some 53's or 55's that easily look 58! Someone help me out.....

Following this are two pics of exaples of what i mean

The first one is an NGC certified 58 that looks not even good enough to be 50, IMO. then a PCGS 55 in the next that only grades 55 and looks WAY better then the 58.

I am not directing this towards NGC, it just happens to be the two examples i picked out, I have found both sides of the spectrum for both TPG's...
