Message:: [QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 2459443, member: 74863"]"Details" means is has all of the "details or what the graders are looking for" for this coin to be AU-55 but due to "problems" on the coin, it will not receive a straight grade. In this case, your quarter has scratches so that makes it PMD or Post Mint Damage and that is not good. FS-901 is a number given to identify the coin as a variety. The change is minor but it varies from one coin to another. As an example, the "ES" in STATES may be close to each other but a variety would be they are further apart. It's minor but noticeable to the trained eye. For the coin you have, I believe the Type B was the reverse design that was to be used on Proof coins but it was used on a circulation coin, thereby making it a variety. You're not a "noob" (whatever that is), just inexperienced like all of us were when we first started collecting coins. Do some research and by the Yeoman Red Book. It will make a huge difference in your collecting and raise your understanding. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
