Message:: [QUOTE="bugo, post: 2459366, member: 53226"]Most of my slabbed coins are MS or PR (PF). The two or three I have that aren't mint state are very low graded coins I bought for the novelty factor of having really poorly graded coins. I don't know much about AU coins. I recently bought this ANACS 1964 silver quarter. It says "AU55" then "Details". What is this "Details" all about? It also says scratched, although the scratches are nearly invisible. Does the "Details" and "Scratched" mean that this coin is technically ungradable because of the scratch, but if it didn't have the scratch it would be an AU 55? I believe the "Type B" refers to the quarters that used the reverse for the proofs. What does "FS-901" mean? Since I mostly have MS and PR (PF) slabbed coins it's weird seeing all this writing on the slab describing a perfectly ordinary circulated coin. I'm used to the label saying things like "1954 10C PCGS MS64" or "1955 25C PCGS PR66". Some of my shinier coins say things like "1992-S 5C PCGS PR69DCAM" or "1978-S $1 PCGS PR69DCAM", and some of them have describers, such as "1976-S 50C PCGS MS65 Silver". I also have one with "SATIN FINISH" on the top of the label with the text "2009-D 10C PCGS SP68FB" but for the most part my PCGS slabs aren't very descriptive. "1964 25C TYPE B REVERSE FS-901 SCRATCHED AU55 DETAILS" is a lot more information to take in than the simpler PCGS labels. <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/1964o_zpswcdwheor.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/1664r_zpsik1htefy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
