<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8347195, member: 105571&quot;]The idea of a descriptive narrative for &quot;more expensive&quot; coins would be a boon to collectors and dealers attempting to sell a coin to an internet audience or to a lesser-informed or skilled clientele.&nbsp; If we stipulate that some otherwise desirable coins would be attractive to a buyer even with a details grade but those buyers are completely put off because they:&nbsp; A) Cannot discern what the problem(s) are due to poor photos, or;&nbsp; B) Do not trust their own ability to figure out what the problem(s) are.&nbsp; In these cases, a seller (and a buyer) would benefit from a trusted TPG description of the type(s) and degrees(s) of the problem(s).&nbsp; So, as a marketing tool, it might be well worth the extra cost to a seller to pay for this description.&nbsp; Conversely, some sellers might not want their expensive coin to have a detailed description because the complete and unvarnished truth would harm the coin&#039;s marketability.&nbsp; In this case, a potential buyer might just shear off from looking at an expensive coin that does not have this, let&#039;s call it, a &quot;Details Pedigree.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
