<p>[QUOTE="amorris, post: 2860391, member: 90075"]While a details grade is certainly a 'kiss of death', a coin can still be very nice addition simply because of what it is under the gunk. I have a 1918 Lincoln commem that has the details designation for an improperly cleaned obverse (sorry no pics). The coin has amazing original cartwheel luster nevertheless and is very sexy. I also know the person who sold it to me, so there is some sentimental value attached to it. Therefore in certain cases, I can definitely look past the details designation. Your example is very nice, even if it would grade details. Frankly when I first saw it, I thought it was a counterfeit it's so pristine. Great addition to a Lincoln cent collection in my opinion. Happy Hunting! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
