So of course it cannot be disproved. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do not say it cannot be done, but would you want it? Would you want a coin that beauty absolutely has nothing to do with the grade? Maybe you are right and it would be easier to just ignore the idea that technical grade should have anything to do with value. I do find the TPG doing market grading dangerous, especially with toning as tastes can and do change. </p><p><br /></p><p>IDK, maybe going cold turkey onto a new system would work. I think everyone would be shocked by some horrendously ugly coins and how they grade, versus some truly beautiful coins and the low technical grades they would receive. I think such a system would push the idea of sight unseen purchases even further away from reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, I think most collectors collect coins for their beauty and not for their luster percent, surface topography, and spectral analysis readings. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
