When looking at the individual coins grading standards I have seen toning mentioned - but never eye appeal. Yes - luster is mentioned, but I would expect that. I have not seen(granted have not read and remembered everything for each coin type) one grade that says something like "eye appeal" for a technical grade. What am I missing?
