<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drathbun, post: 1884211, member: 42789&quot;]Wow, lots of possibilities for problelm coins... Let me try stating the issue another way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Summary: There are two types of coins: those with problems (such as those listed in the prior post) and those without problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case 1: Coins <b>without</b> problems can be graded, and the value of the coin can be roughly determined by the results of the grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case 2: Coins <b>with </b>problems cannot be graded, but the value of the coin can still be roughly determined by other factors such as condition, the so-called &quot;eye appeal&quot;, and factors outside of the damage. It is for this reason that a rating company might use a &quot;details&quot; slab, basically stating that if it were not for the &quot;problem&quot; the coin could have been graded XX. An ugly problem coin will have a lower perceived value than a pretty coin with the same problem, but neither can be assigned a formal grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is that somewhat close, or am I still missing something?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
