<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1559807, member: 66"]Well considering NGC's use of the * for superior eye appeal predates the use of the services + by almost ten years I would think that claiming the use of the + to indicate a statement of eye appeal doesn't hold water. And add to this the fact that ANACS was using a statement about superior eye appeal on their certificates back in the mid 1980's. And the industry was using + signs to indicate superior eye appeal back in at least the sixties. And all of these eye appeal judgements have been subjective. So unless he has some special technique for measuring the eye appeal of a coin and the measurements have repeatability, I don't think his AURA systems has any standing. if he is trying to claim the use of the + is his from a marking standpoint I think that can be tossed as well because people have used the + to try and indicate that their coin, product, whatever, is superior for decades. So I think the marketing claim doesn't have a leg to stand on either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
