jsky Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 2:51 pm So what makes the difference between F and F details, and what does that say about the value? Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36461 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 5:34 pm "F Details" means the coin would grade Fine without the damage. Years ago a damaged coin would not carry a grade but just be noted as a "filler". Value is drastically reduced from what a non damaged coin would be. Report this Post to the Staff
Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 12:09 pm In my opinion (the way I grade at least), details doesn't necessarily always drastically lower the value of the coin. It certainly can, but there are other factors, and sometimes the scratch just isn't that prevalent. So in my mind it can take a coin from fine to VG. Other times, a scratched, bent, porous coin with Fine Details can net Fair or Poor. Either way, the value is less than the net grade. But Details does not ALWAYS mean a drastic cut in value in my opinion. For the newcomer who isn't confident in grading, it's important to understand that the difference can be great and you should be VERY careful when making a purchase. But then, learn to grade (and net grade) for yourself and use these coins as a guide to learning! It's daunting, but rewarding. (And fun.) Report this Post to the Staff
