<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldrdawg, post: 2648235, member: 84149&quot;]All of the aforementioned issues amount to why the grading system cannot be computerized (as of yet), and folks have tried.&nbsp; There are just too many factors for there not to some (read=a lot of) subjectivity.&nbsp; Toning is my favorite part of it.&nbsp; You can buy a Morgan Dollar that is pure white, one that is rainbow colored and one that is virtually black with &quot;toning&quot; and all of them will be MS65.&nbsp; There&#039;s no such thing as an &quot;Ugly 65&quot; or a &quot;Pretty 65&quot; grade, nor is there a &quot;Barely 65 but it&#039;s Friday afternoon and I&#039;m feeling generous&quot; sticker.&nbsp; Will they all be the same price?&nbsp; No, probably not.&nbsp; Will the CAC sticker help?&nbsp; Maybe yes and maybe no.&nbsp; But the CAC sticker doesn&#039;t make an ugly coin pretty; maybe it just limits the debate as you negotiate a price. At this point grading is as much an &quot;art&quot; as anything else.&nbsp; And I guess that&#039;s why they call it <i>practicing</i> medicine and <i>practicing</i> law; no one has it down perfectly yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
