<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Long Beard, post: 4559367, member: 108674&quot;]Coins which fall under a grades written definition for details, and in the case of AU/MS which have mint luster showing, are assigned a grade first. If defects such as scratches, environmental damage, tooling, cleaning and so forth they become factored in after the fact and duly noted on the encapsulation. As to the difficulty in finding a specific grade not details graded, from my own observation I&#039;d say two in ten are details graded. That said, I don&#039;t see things as being lenient where grading is concerned. I myself have and would buy a details graded coin dependent on what it looks like overall. More often than one might think a cleaned coin has equal eye appeal as an original straight grade. Add the fact that on average the cost is about half of the same straight grade. So the question becomes, are these conditions something you can overlook? The one below is my latest as an example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
