[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4563632, member: 112"]I think you must have misunderstood what the person being interviewed was saying, either that or he expressed it poorly. I say that because you have to also understand that the amount of detail remaining on the coin (which is expressed as 50, 53, 55, 58) has nothing to do with the coin having been harshly cleaned and as such is ungradeable. The two things are not related to each other at all. In other words they all agreed that the coin had been harshly cleaned and THAT's why it was put in a details slab - it was not because they couldn't agree on how much detail remained. Any coin that is put in a details slab has no number assigned to it because the coin is ungradeable. AU Details covers all the AU numbers just as Unc Details covers all the MS numbers, VF Details covers all the VF numbers, etc etc. The very same principle is applied with all the special designations such as CAM, DCAM, FS, FB, FBL, FH etc etc. The designation has nothing to do with the number, and the number has nothing to do with the designation - that are completely separate things.[/QUOTE]
