[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3197433, member: 112"]It is, as a general rule, agreed among people who know coins that luster and eye appeal are the two most important criteria when it comes to grading a coin. Granted, that's not really the question that's being asked here, but the connection, the relationship, of eye appeal to answering the question seems to be quite obvious - at least to me. For if eye appeal is one of the two most important grading criteria then it has a direct impact on value for the higher the grade the higher the value. But as already pointed put, at least indirectly, the real question is going to be IF the coin has eye appeal, and if so how much ? What I'm talking about is that it is always a matter of taste - a chocolate and vanilla thing. And taste is always dependent on the person doing the looking. Thus value is also dependent on taste - what one thinks valuable another will not. So the only answer to the question is it depends on whom you ask.[/QUOTE]
