<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8136291, member: 116145&quot;]I was musing on whether or not there are any Details issues that make a coin completely unacceptable to me, a budget collector.&nbsp; The answer is nope!&nbsp; What I love is history and especially rarer coins.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me wrong, if I had the budget for all MS / PF70 coins, I&#039;d probably go that route.&nbsp; That said, some types of damage are worse than others in my opinion, and I was curious about others thoughts in this regard.&nbsp; I don&#039;t include Counterstamped, Planchet Flaws or Chopmarked on the list as I consider those collectible in their own niches, but I recognize that NGC has a really comprehensive list that includes those - <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6434/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6434/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6434/</a>.&nbsp; From what bothers me the least to the most, I&#039;d rank things basically as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Wheel Marks</p><p>2.&nbsp; Cleaned</p><p>3.&nbsp; Stained</p><p>4.&nbsp; Altered Color</p><p>5.&nbsp; Environmental Damage (obviously this, as most of these, has quite a range, I&#039;m talking light)</p><p>6.&nbsp; Corrosion (as above)</p><p>7.&nbsp; Scratched / Graffiti</p><p>8.&nbsp; Holed</p><p>9.&nbsp; Damaged</p><p>10.&nbsp; Bent</p><p>11.&nbsp; Clipped</p><p>12.&nbsp; Whizzed / Polished</p><p>13.&nbsp; Rim Filing</p><p>14.&nbsp; Re-Engraved / Tooled</p><p><br /></p><p>Why does anyone file the rim on a coin, I wonder?&nbsp; Anyway, here are a few samples that I have of more serious issues coins that I still think are nifty from a historical perspective or for my (and my sons) collection, though I&#039;m really glad we could upgrade our 1927-S Standing Liberty Quarter - first I had one found raw in a consignment store lot that was Scratched, G4 (submitted to ICG), then I got a cheap F12 ANACS Details that is re-engraved, finally I bargained for a good deal on a PCGS F15.&nbsp; Please post pictures of any unusual Details coins you have or ones that you like / dislike and any thoughts you have on the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1417807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1417808[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1417810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1417811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1417813[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
