busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/20/2010 02:47 am A slab will say "details" Does this take away from the value of the coin? How does the word "details" on a slab whether it be PCGS,NGC, os ANACS effect it. Report this Post to the Staff

Pinenut Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 07/20/2010 02:51 am "Details" means that some part of the coin's condition prevents it from being graded. Nonetheless, they offer an approximate grade as if the damage did not exist. That is a details grade as I understand it. The major TPGs sometimes have codes that describe the nature of the damage, whether cleaning, PVC, rim ding, etc. They would be worth considerably less than the grade written on them.

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/20/2010 08:31 am In the majority of cases the answer is "yes". A "details" grade indicates a problem coin (cleaned, whizzed, rim damage, scratches, PVC damage, etc.) There is no formula to determine value on these, but I wouldn't hope for non-details value. In the end it is worth what someone else wants to pay. p.s. - I would guess many of these sell to the seedy element of the hobby to be cracked-out and sold raw to the unsuspecting public.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 07/20/2010 10:28 am Seated Nut, you make an interesting point about being "cracked out". How do you tell if a coin has PVC damage other than in the "Details" area of a slabbed coin? Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/20/2010 12:40 pm PVC is corrosive and eats away at the metal if left unchecked. None of the reputables will slab active PVC. After the PVC is removed they will label the slab PVC damage. Report this Post to the Staff
