This example is graded VG Details (Very Good Details), meaning it retains the amount of wear typically associated with a Very Good coin but has a condition issue that prevents it from receiving a straight numerical grade. Such issues may include cleaning, scratches, corrosion, environmental damage, rim damage, or other impairments acquired during its long life.
