[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3625346, member: 19165"]That is something I do address in the commentary, although I don't normalize for it in the numbers (I'll do that next time). I'm fully aware that some of the posts are making a point as to how overgraded or undergraded the coins are.

Less of the non-ddddd posts are outliers than you might expect ;) Given that eye appeal (and the color bump) are important aspects of the grading process, I don't think this actually distorts the data.
