[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 4297587, member: 85675"]Correct, I was using the phrase altered surface literally to say it was messed with but good on you to point out the difference of getting that spelled out as a details slab grade which indicates a different story. Nice. I am not opposed to details coins- in fact one of my biggest numismatic regrets is buying and immediately selling a 1794 cent at a show last year. It was in an environmental damage slab but it was a fantastic coin and very borderline... I figured I would take the cash and find one I liked in a straight holder but that hasn’t been the case and it was a great buy for what I paid. Here’s a pretty seated coin I got for $30 and it sold for $100... “AU Details Surfaces Smoothed” Definitely some nice ones out there. [ATTACH=full]1093932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
