<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sshafer11, post: 2009729, member: 67540&quot;]I don&#039;t think the wording is clear at all, and this is my problem with it. They say it includes raw and slabbed coins in any grade. Does &quot;details&quot; actually count as a &quot;grade.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>And the thing is this is actually pretty critical for some coins. For instance I have an NGC VF30 1866-S Half Dime. According to NGC coin explorer very few of these coins are left gradable because many were made into jewelry. PCGS coinfacts says 300 survive which makes sense with what NGC is saying. But the key fact remains is the survival number &quot;problem free&quot; coins? If someone goes and buys one for $15 with a hole on it and puts it up on eBay and says this coin is one of only 300 KNOWN TO EXIST SUPER RARE!!++* are they really being accurate and fair? </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the whole idea of survival rate is fantastic but I just wish they would specifically classify whether or not problem coins count in the total. My feeling is that the number only represents gradable pieces but I cannot confirm that and it really bothers me. Hence the reason for this post[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
