pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 09/17/2023 7:16 pm Someone paid $149 for this coin on ebay. It was described as having "VF Details". I call that a "numismatic crime". Report this Post to the Staff

But don't blame the seller - blame the fool who bought it. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 09/17/2023 8:43 pm I've seen a lot of listings like this - they say "details" in a manner that makes it sound like they're referring to the details on the coin to an uneducated buyer, but it's an out for them to be able to say that they posted it as a "details" coin. How did we get to that nomenclature anyway? It should be "problem" or "defect" etc instead of details. Details implies that they're just being more descriptive. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/17/2023 8:46 pm You're overthinking this. It is accurately described as a Details coin using common parlance. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 09/17/2023 10:02 pm Common parlance for us maybe, but as I said, an uninformed purchaser has no idea that "details" means something negative. These sellers typically say something like "has UNC details", which seems to be what the OP saw. Report this Post to the Staff
