Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 07:11 am Just wondering why NGC did not give this CBH a VF Details grade? It seems to me the scratches on the obverse and rim damage on reverse would send it into the details category. Are the scratches and damage not that bad and and the coin would be considered problem free by most? http://www.ebay.com/itm/29120553164...CHING_ACTIVE Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 07:30 am IMO there aren't enough impetrfections in this coin to certify a "Details" grade. I'm not usually lenient when it comes to problem coins so I'd think that most others CCF members will agree. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 07:54 am I suspect NGC decided that the marks were within normal expectations for a coin showing that amount of circulation wear. BTW that listing is in violation of ebay rules. "Coins minted before 1980 must show the full front and back of the holder. Coins minted in 1980 or after must show the full front of the holder."
