<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Two Dogs, post: 8133893, member: 85671&quot;]I collect US type coins.&nbsp; For some issues, I don&#039;t mind a &quot;details&quot; coin.&nbsp; For example, large cents may have some environmental damage/corrosion that&#039;s just enough to get graded details, but the coin still looks nice. If the price bumps down due to the details designation, then it works for me.&nbsp; Cleaned copper on the other hand, looks ugly. </p><p>I recently bought a Flowing Hair Half Dollar with the initials &quot;J.M.&quot; carved in the fields of the obverse. I got it graded and the slab says &quot;graffiti.&quot; That&#039;s fine with me, a wholesome coin would have been MUCH more expensive, and I&#039;m imagining that it was James Madison who scratched his initials in the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
