<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 8286112, member: 37839&quot;]I, as a rule, completely avoid details coins.&nbsp; Even when I was doing the full Morgan set, I avoided details coins.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because they are problem coins, and should be worth less than half of a straight graded coin.&nbsp; Basically, I see them as place fillers.&nbsp; Their purpose is to complete a hole in a collection, and I would rather wait, or buy a coin of lower grade to fill the space.&nbsp; Honestly, most TPGs do not frivolously details grade a coin.&nbsp; The most frequent reason for a details grade is cleaning.&nbsp; I find 99% of the cleaned coins ugly, as cleaning can never be done skillfully enough to make the coin look good. In the last 10 years I owned 2 details coins—a Trade Dollar, and a Bust Half.&nbsp; I sold both of them, as I never liked the appearance of them.&nbsp; My advice is that if a coin is too expensive to buy straightgraded, WAIT!&nbsp; A hasty purchase of a filler details coin is often regretted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
