[QUOTE="JP@, post: 8136485, member: 124338"]I see many references to this topic but I have not yet found much info regarding the actual value differences. I'm certain some folks here can offer a little guidance.... :angelic: I don't yet have anything Details graded but I'm considering it for certain coins that may otherwise be out of my type set budget. For example, I have looked at a few "Details Cleaned" IHCs recently but I'm not sure how to value them compared to a straight grade. I find little logic and lots of inconsistencies by looking at completed ebay auctions. [B]Hypothetical Question:[/B] 2 near identical 190X IHCs. One is a low MS straight grade and the other is Unc Details Cleaned. Visually, both appear to be the same grade and have equal eye appeal. If the book value and asking price of the straight grade is $100, what would be a reasonable value for the details coin? I'm already aware of the standby 'whatever someone is willing to pay' response and I'm hoping for something a little more definitive regarding 2 otherwise equal coins. Thoughts please !:woot:[/QUOTE]
