<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 1938912, member: 648&quot;]I&#039;ve had a lot of &quot;details&quot; coins come and go and honestly I try to avoid them, since problem coins are always a tough sell.&nbsp; How much it&#039;s discounted should be determined by the severity of the problem.&nbsp; i.e., a coin with a couple of small rim dings should sell for more than an identical coin with a huge X across the face.&nbsp; But there&#039;s no price guide for damaged/cleaned coins, and that creates a challenge for someone trying to put an honest value on a piece.&nbsp; Personally, I&#039;ve never been able to buy problem coins at half the value.&nbsp; Seems like 10-20% is the norm in this market...but take that as it&#039;s meant...as a sweeping generalization and not as a firm rule.&nbsp; I think it all comes down to &quot;how badly do you need the coin?&quot;&nbsp; If it&#039;s a coin that&#039;s easily found/replaced, the discount should be significant.&nbsp; However if you&#039;re talking about a rare coin that&#039;s hard to locate, or very expensive in original condition, the discount may not be that great.</p><p>Not sure if I helped or not, there&#039;s just no hard-and-fast rule for pricing problem coins.&nbsp; </p><p>Best,</p><p>tradernick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
