Do it yourself 58s

As I previously wrote, I have enjoyed working on the everyman sets. Modern AU58s are tough, exception being higher price mint errors in circulated.

I needed around 17 newer coins, and I had lots of mint packaged singles from mint sets. I figured, heck, I'll just make some 58s. I carried them around in my pockets when I could, big and small, business and proof (for silver issues), mixed together. I looked at them under my microscope and felt each coin had been frictioned and nicked to a 58.

After a couple weeks total time in my pockets, I packaged them up, with a note explaining what I had done. I sent them off to NGC and my results are such:

1-PF61

2-PF/MS62

2-MS63

5-MS/PF64

4-MS65

2-MS66

1-MS67

Not a 58 among them...!!!
