<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 402128, member: 3726&quot;]WOW - I think eye appeal is important and can vary from coin to coin. With that thought a well dipped coin could have 64 details and be graded 64.&nbsp; And we still get back to the beggining - look at the coin so you buy the coin not the holder.&nbsp; So what appeals to one may not appeal to another.&nbsp; And we did not even discuss the roughness or weak strike of the older planchets.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now you introduce humans doing the programming for the recognition software - are you going to make them all use the same software?&nbsp; I am sure there will be competitors.&nbsp; So now you have coding differences - you just can&#039;t eliminate humans from the equation.&nbsp; And if they can not agree on grading standards now what makes you think they will use the same standards when doing the coding?&nbsp; I mean I can do the coding for some of them now - all morgans MS67 and all moderns MS70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Part of the fun of this hobby is looking at and picking the coins you like. Yes you may have to look at a lot, but why does it matter what is on the holder?&nbsp; I have passed on plenty of coins that might have been technically graded correct, but held no eye appeal for me or I did not think they matched my opinion of the grade.&nbsp; So again - buy the coin not the holder no matter who (or what) did the grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
