<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2627453, member: 1892&quot;]In my &quot;personal&quot; grading system, I won&#039;t go up a grade just on eye appeal unless the coin was already at the top of the grade, and it better look like a Battle Creek Morgan to get that much. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Decidedly unattractive coins, though, by nature ought to be penalized.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking at this from the standpoint of this decision: Do I, as a seller of this coin, wish to trust only in the grading skills of my potential buyers, or do I not, in order to get the price I want? I cannot ever see the former being possible. Too much of the potential market is still more or less dependent on the grade on the slab, and we can&#039;t just completely freeze these people out of numismatics. Should you have to take a grading test before you&#039;re allowed to buy a coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s what makes the (true) premise of this thread all the more horrifying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
