<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 26600983, member: 22377&quot;]Next up we have a category of coins instead of just one. This covers a handful of Questionable Color details coins slabbed by PCGS. I noticed a person on the PCGS forum advertising that he was selling these and I was intrigued. Quite a few people completely avoid details coins but not me. There are times when the TPGs are too harsh and one can find a decent deal. Other times the TPG is correct but there is still something attractive enough about the coin. I have run into both cases. One of my favorites (box of 20 coin) came from a details slab that later straight graded (I thought PCGS made a mistake and was rewarded by getting a straight grade). Another favorite will almost certainly stay in a details slab but it is an attractive coin (made my top 10 of 2022).</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the group from this year. I picked up a handful of quarters and a Franklin thinking that some could straight grade on a good day and others might just be nice looking in hand. After receiving them in hand, I figured it was a long shot that any would straight grade and they were not as impressive (to my eye) as I had hoped. Plus the cost of grading was more than it was worth spending. The quarters were all relatively cheap (most under $25) while the Franklin cost somewhat more (about $65). I was able to sell all the quarters (for no real gain) but the Franklin has been a challenge to move.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news is that I did purchase a details coin from this same collection that I really like (spoiler: might be a top 10 thread candidate). So I won&#039;t stop looking at details coins but I will try to be more discerning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is one example of the group that I mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://d1htnxwo4o0jhw.cloudfront.net/pcgs/cert/46640672/large/262688798.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://photos.greatcollections.com/0/1901081-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
