<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 8236449, member: 40340"]A "Details" grade usualy means the coin has been damaged in some way.. rim dings, enviromental damage, scratches/graffiti, holed and many others including corrosion. What your pictures show is minor corrosion or env. damage. That would get it a "details" grade. This is also called a "problem coin" or a coin that has an issue. regretably such a grade reduces (but does not eliminate) the value of the coin as most collectors want "clean" grades (not details). I have a few "details" coins in my type set because I could never afford those particular coins in a clean grade. Probably the best example I have pics of on hand is my newest 1/2 cent with env. damage. But then as i have said for a few other "detail" coins i have purchased they are "details I can live with <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449073[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
