<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 3662629, member: 73165&quot;]I have bought details coins I thought would straight grade before.&nbsp; I&#039;m fairly successful when it comes to QC/AT.&nbsp; The other reason I might buy a details coin is if the coin is so scarce I might never see another one.&nbsp; I got unlucky once and bought a raw half cent I thought would grade MS and it came back AU details, cleaned, because I missed a moderate sized patch of hairlines in the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that, I see little reason to buy details coins for my own collection.&nbsp; I collect by type, so I have the flexibility to pass up &quot;hole fillers&quot; in favor of non-problem coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW [USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER], had I seen that 1917 half, I would have also bought it at the price you paid.&nbsp; I don&#039;t quite understand why that relatively minor bit of damage is enough to kill 90% of the coin&#039;s value.&nbsp; If it were me, I&#039;d either keep it or try to resell it for triple the price you paid, because I think it&#039;s worth at least that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
