But like I said, that's because some folks just can't wrap their head around the idea that problem coins have no grade because problem coins cannot be graded. They just don't understand it. So they think that even though it's a problem coin, if one has a greater amount of detail than another, then the one with the greater amount of detail should be worth more. </p><p><br /></p><p>But that reasoning only applies to coins that have actual grades, coins that can be graded. What they are trying to do is apply the same reasoning to problem coins.
