    I am new to this site; my question' I'm interested in a coin that is NGC AU with no trailing number.

    I see it looks like AU-50 is the lowest in AU would that apply to the AU grade.

    thank you.

      Hello and welcome to the NGC forum.

      I believe you are talking about an adjectival grade, a grade where there is no numerical grade assigned. This seems to typically be used when people or businesses submit large numbers of the same type of coin. NGC's definition of AU is 50-58, so yes, 50 would be the lowest a coin graded AU would score. 50 would also be how the coin is scored in the NGC registry, if you are building a registry set.

      It's a nice looking coin, a definite keeper. (thumbsu Don't know if you've ever submitted a coin to NGC but it ain't cheap, especially for one coin. You might be able to find a local coin shop to submit it for you at a lower cost.

    Wanted to let you know my Ukraine 2011 both came back as 69s, 2012 both 69s and both 2019 came back as 70s

      Oh man, that stinks about the 2011 and 2012's, great news on the 2019's. 

      I think the 2012's are cursed, it took me 10 coins before I got a 2012 graded a 70. But I learned a lot, especially about a coins luster and how that will affect a grade. It can be/is the difference between a 69 and 70. 

      I'm still looking for that elusive 2014 F15 in MS70 I just got another raw one the other day but I am not sending it in. It's clean but it's not a 70, the hunt continues. 

      Good Luck
