<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimefreak, post: 959507, member: 24267&quot;]To the OP, It is also Important to note that a Gem coin needs more than a strong strike and sharp details. When coins are graded luster plays a huge role as well as marks on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Gem coin might have the same strike and details as a choice coin but possesses more luster. It might also have the same amount of luster strike and details but dont have as many marks as the choice coin. Eye appeal would also play a huge role in the grading process which means That maybe we have two identical coins (Luster Strike Toning) except one has a mark in the open field and is very noticeable, the other has the same exact mark but its hidden in the hair or feathers and doesn&#039;t take much of the appeal away. Eye appeal also refers to but is not limited to the toning, in most cases toning can add or subtract points.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
