[QUOTE="Murphy45p, post: 3662040, member: 96005"]I use details coins for quite a few spaces in my type set. Typically for me, it allows the details of the coins to be more easily discerned with the naked eye and allows me to purchase a nicer coin at a discount. My eyesight gets worse as the years roll by, so heavily toned coins don't do much for me. Sometimes I can tell the coin has been cleaned, other times not. Not all cleanings are created equal. For instance, if I can get a slabbed AU details coin at a similar price to that of a vf 35, I'll take the details coin because certain aspects of the design are visible and with less wear. I guess it is the choice of the individual collector. Yes, I break them out. That being said, I'm a collector. I'm an investor too, but that isn't my primary goal. For an investment coin, spend the extra money for the problem free coin. This is a picture of the latest details coin I purchased: [ATTACH=full]984706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]984707[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
