Do you know see that there are people who aren't going to know what "DETAILS" coin means same as they won't know what details coin means whereas if you had simply used the term that ANACS itself uses, problem coin, there would be no possibility of confusion. I'm not confused -- you know this well. But others could be. Yes, you don't used this fabricated euphemism in your auction descriptions, it seems, just here in explaining yourself. That's even less logical. If there is a group of people who can most easily understand what ANACS' [ "DETAILS" ] coins are, it is the readership of this group. Anyone in this group who is interested enough to look at the ads and sees the way ANACS grades the coins has understanding. There are many readers who have never used ANACS - or any outside grading service - but they would be quick studies after one glance at the ads in question where the term is prominently displayed. "Problem coins" is not. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Go to ANACS' Web site. There is no "DETAILS" service listed, and your term "'DETAILS' coin" is not used. Go to its services page. Under "Problem Coins Graded" (!!!), ANACS specifies that through its regular grading service it will grade damaged coins and give them a "detail grade" (it also mentions "details grade"). At its FAQ page, after the question, "Does ANACS certify 'problem coins'?" (!!!), ANACS uses the term "'details'-graded coin"). All this is clear. The terms ANACS uses don't attempt to obfuscate, unlike your term "'DETAILS' coin." It's all semantics, but these distinctions are important, trying as they do to make something -- problem coins -- appear more desirable than they are. What sounds better: "I sell "'DETAILS' coins"? Or "I sell problem coins?" Which is clearer? Again, all this refers to how you explain what you do here. -- Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |
