<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 7845614, member: 117420&quot;]A &quot;details&quot; slabbed coin is not a graded coin...not to/for me, my opinion, etc. I have bought/do buy certain &quot;details&quot; coins if I cannot see/determine the details of the &quot;details&quot; in the photos, and the coin looks otherwise decent and desired, and with a good price of course, which is usually the case.&nbsp; A &quot;Details&quot; slabbed coin of one kind or another (&quot;cleaned,&quot; &quot;damage,&quot; etc) was and still is for many, the kiss of death to a coin. It depends. I will not accept a details-slabbed coin in return and prefer to have them returned raw...and I note same on every submission.&nbsp; I find I can get better prices here in rural IN at local coin shows for raw v. &quot;details&quot; slabbed. That may not be true elsewhere, in big markets, etc....plus depends on the coin, value, etc.&nbsp; However, I buy details-slabbed on rare occasion as I described, and after further/closer exam on receipt to be sure it&#039;s either virtually invisible or so nit-picky as to be totally ridiculous, I crack them out and re-submit them raw for a grade.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been successful twice out of 4 or 5 re-submissions, once to the same/top TPG that &quot;detailed&quot; it and another time to the competing/second-top TPG. Of the two or three I wasn&#039;t successful at, one came back noted as something totally different from the original &quot;details&quot; issue...! I&#039;ll stop there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
