<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3197162, member: 15588&quot;]I listened to an introductory lecture by PCGS on grading and the presenter said that, like most aesthetic judgements, eye appeal remains mostly a subjective matter. Though many people probably agree that gouges, deep scratches and high contrast spots go against eye appeal, I agree and find eye appeal difficult to quantify.</p><p><br /></p><p>Concerning toning, some will pay a heavy premium for it. I personally don&#039;t like toning on coins, so I try to avoid it. The quarter posted above fits my tastes fairly well. I will pay premiums for what I consider heavy eye appeal, but nothing too drastic unless I really really like the coin. I think I would have been willing to pay a little more for the quarter above. But many factors come into play in such a decision as to almost be hopelessly situational or, as lawyers always like to say, &quot;it depends.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
