<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 617765, member: 2972&quot;]IMO, value affects grading to the extent that eye appeal affects grading.&nbsp; Said a bit differently, TPGs interpret eye appeal as a way to both positively and negatively affect grades.&nbsp; Eye appeal is also, by far, the most subjective of a coin&#039;s qualities.&nbsp; I think sometimes this is overlooked when people say that TPGs allow value to affect grading.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that&#039;s true -- IMO they look at the technical merits of a coin then use eye appeal to revise the technical grade upwards or downwards.&nbsp; While the net effect is as you suggest (&quot;value should never affect grading, but it does&quot;), it is the way that it happens where there is some disagreement.</p><p><br /></p><p>Respectfully...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
