<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 2323929, member: 42727&quot;]Excellent post.&nbsp; I do something very similar.&nbsp; For me though, eye appeal is what gets me to pick up the coin and evaluate it.&nbsp; If the coin doesn&#039;t suit my eye, I just move on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was looking at some 1964 business strike Kennedy&#039;s yesterday.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a Kennedy collector, but I want to have a &#039;64 Proof (Accented Hair and &quot;regular&quot;) and business strike for my collection.&nbsp; Some of the MS68&#039;s I saw in top tier TPG holders had very ugly toning.&nbsp; I just passed on them, whether they were technically sound grades or not.&nbsp; So for me, it starts with eye appeal, than reverts to technical grading.&nbsp; Sometimes, in the case of Morgan&#039;s, they can be one and the same: lots of contact/bag marks can ruin eye appeal as well as keep the technical grade low.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
