<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3661988, member: 77413&quot;]About two weeks ago I tried to put together a year set for my mother. Time was critical so I shopped around for what I could get quickly. Some of them were detailed - an UNC Detail Walking Liberty half and a raw, but obviously ungradeable, Standing Liberty Quarter. I also grabbed a 1911-D Lincoln to replace my cleaned one.</p><p><br /></p><p>A while back I had <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gtg-1924-standing-liberty.330730/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gtg-1924-standing-liberty.330730/">a thread on a 1924 SLQ</a> that was &quot;<a href="https://www.pcgs.com/grades?tab=nogrades" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/grades?tab=nogrades" rel="nofollow">Genuine - UNC Details (92 - Cleaned)</a>&quot;. We eventually agreed that there was no sign of harsh cleaning. The surfaces are delicately original without any signs of die wear, possibly MS65.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand I bought this one raw from poor pictures. This time I did not do so well, although it would have been good enough for the set I was preparing. I valued its color over condition since it was going to be seen by my mother&#039;s 102 year old eyes. The scratches and polished-looking reverse were not as important as the decent detail and warm coloring.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]984689[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two more coins I am preparing to photograph for this thread. They&#039;ll be up shortly.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are your experiences? Do you ever take a chance on Details coins? Do you leave them slabbed or break them out? Do you feel you got value for your money? Or are they actually dogs?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, of course, do you have photos to show us?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
