<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2033871, member: 46237&quot;]Wear damages the surfaces of a coin and degrades the appearance and value, making wear a problem. All coins that are not MS70 are problem coins. It&#039;s just that wear is well understood and can be described with a grade. Saying a coin is a VF30 communicates the <i>problem</i> of surface wear in a universal way. Other problems are unique and the details system we use is an incredible failure at adequately describing the true impact of a non-wear problem to the condition of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Condition is a spectrum, not black and white. There are really only attractive coins and unattractive coins, and that is subjective. There are both unattractive problem free coins and beautiful details coins. Buy what you like. There are some great details coins that can be had cheaper than they should go for, due to people who won&#039;t even look at a &quot;problem&quot; coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
