Message:: [QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 642977, member: 13342"]I wanted to "re-ask" the question that I posed in this thread.  <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t61517/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t61517/">http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t61517/</a> No one responded to my question there, and I realize it was a bit off topic, so I wanted to start my own thread and hopefully get this answered. It is important to me to correctly understand this, so I know what I'm doing when I purchase these type of coins. Lets take for example an ANACS graded coin that is labeled "EF-40 details scratched." It seems that some have the opinion that when anacs grades a problem coin, the "details" grade is the net grade. For example an "EF-40 details scratched" grade might mean that the coin would grade EF-45 or AU-50 without the scratch. Is this true?  Or is the details grade itself the grade the coin would receive if it hadn't been scratched? In this case, it would have graded EF-40 without the scratch.  I always just assumed it was the latter, but the OP of the other thread seemed to indicate the former, and now I'm confused.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Which is it? thanks to all in advance.John[/QUOTE]
