<p>[QUOTE="EyeAppealingCoins, post: 3609498, member: 96749"]You seem to take the position that color can bump up a coin half a point to a point. Assuming that we agree with that for conversation, how do you justify the 2-3 point bumps that many toners get? Before Laura killed Coin Facts, I enjoyed looking at all the coins that upgraded especially from Legend Auctions. I watched the 1904-O Morgan from the Northern Lights Collection go from MS64 to MS65 before ultimately ending up in a MS67 holder and selling for $35k-$40k. When adding that many points you are now grading color and not the coin. Put another way, the color is weighed so heavily that it makes most of the other criteria pretty much worthless. I'd hardly call that "holistic" grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
