<p>[QUOTE="iontyre, post: 2321489, member: 70577"]Personally, I think the whole 'details' grade thing is STUPID! Grade the darn coin, and if there are any problems note them (VF-35, Scratched, or AU-55, Cleaned) The fact that something untoward has happened to the coin does NOT mean it is not a viable example of the particular issue. The two cent coin in my Avatar is a beautiful uncirculated example that PCGS called "Uncirculated Details: Questionable Color". No indication if the level of detail and lack of contact marks would make it equivalent to MS-60, MS-63, or MS-65. Besides the fact I question their assertion on the color, I have no indication (for my $90+ cost of submission) of the appropriate level of strike and handling quality. Thanks but no thanks, PCGS. Needless to say my days of submitting to TPG's ended with that first coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
