<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4582749, member: 77413&quot;]I have two examples where, if you are lucky to find it, a Details grade leads to a huge bargain. I have posted these both before.</p><p><br /></p><p>First is this 1924 SLQ that was graded “cleaned”. None of the members here could definitively say where the cleaning was, if any. This came in at about 1/4 of book value if it is an MS64, and about 1/10 if it’s MS65 FH. The seller did not expect a details grade when he sent it in.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1134945[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This has a details grade because of a small mark from a coin wrapping machine. It usually takes some time to find it! Here it is at the 8:00 position on the reverse. The animation lets you see how the light has to be just right to pick it up along the rim. Again, the price may be about 1/10 of book price, because the “details” in the listing scared off other bidders.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1134946[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have at least one other coin marked Details that has a “wheel mark” designation. Again, that is hard enough to see that I recall that only [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] was able to find it.</p><p>In all these cases, I treat some Details graded coins like I do high-end AU58 grades. They may be a great bargain and it is really possible I cannot tell the difference, or for the right price, just really not care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
