<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1884541, member: 22004"]David Alexander from Heritage Auctions gave a talk at our coin club a few months back. I showed him a $20 gold coin that NGC had called Unc. details improperly cleaned though if so it was minor; he did not see the reason for the no grade and it was minor if anything. And I have had coins that no graded only to later both get high grades and get CAC approved. Details holder coins do absolutely nothing for the submitter with the exception of rare coins. There are obviously cleaned and overly "brushy" coins and those that are on the edge and those where there is no reason for them to stigmatize a coin with the details holder. Probably the lawsuits that PCGS encountered after 2008 are a reason for their borderline paranoia in not putting many coins they used to in numerical holders. As Voltaire said, the perfect is the enemy of the good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
