<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeAppealingCoins, post: 3437315, member: 96749&quot;]At what point, under your philosophy, does one category or component of grading completely swallow all of the others to effectively render the others nugatory?&nbsp; So does a little color and nice luster make an otherwise MS65 coin based on strike, surfaces, etc., a 67?&nbsp; If so, you are cheapening the real 67s (i.e. those that are all there at the 67 level for strike, surfaces, luster, eye appeal, etc.).</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Implicit in your argument is that TPG &quot;graders&quot; are really expert appraisers.&nbsp; It is hard enough to technically describe coins to meaningfully convey useful information about a coin&#039;s condition.&nbsp; It is impossible to be an expert appraiser across all of the different categories of coins you are likely to encounter.&nbsp; Your grading scale is based on fleeting criteria and even more subjective than technical grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
