<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 8325005, member: 103207&quot;]I think the answer you&#039;re looking for is that in some cases a details coin is a good option.&nbsp; However, it all depends on a persons taste.&nbsp; The 1795 bust dollar I posted was very acceptable to me.&nbsp; In the same auction was a straight graded 1795 bust dollar in VF that had adjustment marks on it.&nbsp; That coin looked like a file was used on the coin.&nbsp; Which was true and because it was done at the mint it is considered ok.&nbsp; To me it&#039;s the same as a scratched coin.&nbsp; Sometimes even worse.&nbsp; That filed coin went for 3 times the money I paid for the dollar I bought and mine had even less wear.&nbsp; I will never buy a coin with adjustment marks because to me it&#039;s a damaged coin.&nbsp; The same can be said about some cleaned coins, some look good and can be acceptable and some look like someone took a Brillo pad to the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you&#039;re buying details coins based on price alone you will likely end up with a lot of junk.&nbsp; Even a rare coin that has been seriously messed with or damaged will be very difficult to sell.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Additional information; I&#039;ve saw a recent auction of counter stamped coins that were technically details coins that went for more than straight graded coins of the same grade and type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
