This post boils down to "market grading is a way for sellers to take too much money when they sell me a coin". However, there is no upside for sellers to go to the method you suggest and unless there is then it simply won't be accepted. There is just too much money opposed to it.

Additionally, this method emphasizes strike as the most important factor in grading and that simply isn't (and shouldn't be) the case. In fact strike is one of the least important factors.
