[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3216253, member: 76863"]Which makes grading subjective. What are we scientifically measuring exactly when you then have to say okay so what does this matter in terms of the grade? Professionals do objectively grade coins how they see them using their skill and experience to weight the subjective aspects. Except that isn't how it would work at all. What would happen is a bunch of buyers would say, "oh no I won't pay over greysheet for this it's only a 63 and I think it's overgraded ect". That already happens and would be way worse making grading pointless if all it was was a here you go you guys figure out the important parts yourself system. You're basically just advocating to go back to raw coins by saying that it should all just be up to the buyer and seller to do the important part of grading.[/QUOTE]
