thanks...yes, the coins have nice eye appeal...cant really put my set into an album. Its a pretty high grade set....93-S is a 45, 93 CC is a 63 as examples....I guess ebay is the best place to see what I might be able to get fair price for.....Although my coins say 'improperly cleaned' which I gather is different than just straight up 'cleaned' ? or has the terminology changed from 20 years ago ? |

I use 50% of catalog as my guide for pricing DETAILS coins.
That's just an "arm waving" estimate.
Rarer coins could be more; common coins less.
If you can find auction/sales results, so much the better.

Stick them in an album, a few details coins have great eye appeal, they look beautiful in albums hence that's where they are. Works for me.  No reason you cannot have two sets. I have two Ike sets; one in a Dansco album and other in PCGS slabs.  |

People use different estimates, but my go to is if the coin is not detailed for extreme reasons(like being bent or a hole or heavy corrosion), take the value of lowest numerical grade of the letter grade below the coin is graded at. So for example if you have an AU details, cleaned coin, my ballpark value would be XF-40 money. This can change though. If the coin has a shallow value curve, you need to take more money off. For example, 1908-S Indian cents Go for $100 in F-12 but only $120 or so in VF-20-35. In this case a VF details Indian cent would be worth far less than a straight grade F-12, probably more like $70 or so. |

The unc details coins will be the hardest to determine value, especially for conditional rarities like the 1886-O, because the value falls dramatically once you drop into the AU range. Much will depend on whether they are higher mint state coins, how obvious the cleaning is, and their overall eye appeal. If there are any with truly no signs of cleaning, it might be worth breaking out and resubmitting.

I would crack them out and resubmit them if you believe there are gradable.
I resubbed an 1884-CC 5 times before it straight graded. I'm not sure if you are aware
that the top TPGs have around 6 graders. so this time you got graders A, B and C, and details.
Next time you might get graders D,E and F.... And get it straight graded.
Bottom line, don't give up if you believe in the coin. This also depends on the value of the coin.
A $100 coin is not worth sending in multiple times. I lost money on the 84-CC to prove a point.

The type and severity of a 'details' on a slabbed coin will downwardly affect it's value from slightly to greatly.
That brings the term 'details' into question, because that is a switch off term if present; - either off or on.
If present, 'details' by itself gives no indication to how much value can be lost.
A prospective buyer has to examine the slabbed coin in hand to determine for himself how much value has been lost.
The owner has to decide if he will keep it, despite the 'details'. For some collectors, they are never fully satisfied with their 'details' coins. Other collectors may be happy with a 'details - improperly cleaned', if they know that they originally obtained the coin for a very good devalued price.

As I look at the coins, I see three of them that, yeah, I could see as improperly cleaned. The other 7 look very nice to me. I'll go through the NGC pricing do see whether worth cracking open and sending them in for another grading opportunity...I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet, but will try to figure it out this weekend

I would put the 3 as pocket to wear them down one grade.

I guess a little easier said than done. how do you lower an uncirculated coin one grade (I ask rhetorically). thanks all for the comments

One full grade, as in MS > AU, AU > XF, etc.
