<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 3217593, member: 76863&quot;]Personally eye appeal is #1 to me for anything I would buy.&nbsp; I would rather have booming luster or great eye appeal with a few more marks/hits/slight rub ect than an ugly dog with fewer marks.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s the thing though the technical grading you are proposing is nothing more than counting marks.&nbsp; Anyone can do that on their own there&#039;s no point in having a service that just counts marks for how they grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Because some think they can grade better.&nbsp; Others use out dated standards.&nbsp; Subjectivity.&nbsp; Picture vs in hand grading ect.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Computer grading was tried, it failed.&nbsp; Very few people want that.&nbsp; Just like very few people want grading to just be mark counting, the pure technical advocates do tend to be very vocal about it on forums though.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Collectors already do evaluate the coins by their own taste for what to buy and what not to buy.&nbsp; And eye appeal is by far the biggest determination of price.&nbsp; You can have coins that are the same grade for many many many multiples of each other despite that they have the same grade.&nbsp; The ones lacking eye appeal that are graded more technically or are low end generally sell low or right around book while the premium ones and the ones with great eye appeal sell for much more and sometimes even more than low end coins in the grade above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
