[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 490849, member: 4920"]Gee, Doug, is there anybody you [I]don't[/I] know? ;) Let me just get to the heart of the objections, strike and color, as technical grading factors. That 5% margin of error I left for myself had largely to do with what this author held on color. In my view, color should be irrelevant. It should not hold the technical grade of a coin down, nor should it raise the technical grade. That was largely my objection to this "collector's" way of understanding technical grading. At least, that is to say, before I read your reply, as well as that fascinating thread Lehigh just started on strike. Now, I'm questioning strike, as well, as a technical grading factor. :confused: Quite honestly, I'll concede, that Lehigh thread is a little over my head. I don't know what I think about strike, now. As you're probably aware, I conceive of technical grading as "condition grading." Suffice it to say (thanks, again, to Lehigh (:D)), I'm back to forming an opinion on that. PS: Very appreciative of your taking the bother to reference some of the holes in that article, BTW, Doug; thanks![/QUOTE]
