<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 4582599, member: 86853&quot;]Many replies above illustrate the problem of DETAILS grading. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE COIN AND NOT THE LABEL! Of course, that&#039;s true of straight graded coins as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Early copper coins sold at Goldbergs and Heritage (but not Stacks-Bowers for some reason) generally carry EAC net grades. Those point to a real value for the coin, whereas the slab details grade offers essentially no useful information. People who collect coins other than half cents and large cents are on their own when looking at coins in details holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end we all have to decide what a particular coin is worth to us, not what some unspecified coin in a generic details graded slab <i>ought</i> to be worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
