<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Miko W, post: 2016514, member: 68055&quot;]To me, the subjective aesthetic value of a coin and its objective condition should be separate spheres. One is artistic, one is scientific. If I am buying a car, any experienced person can tell me that the frame is bent, or the engine has been replaced, or it shows signs of having been repainted. If I want to do my homework, I can aspire to detect such things, and probably should. But no one can tell me if I like the car or not. No one can tell me if I want to buy it or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Give the coins a technical grade based on deductive observation of the physical coin, and leave to the market the task of assigning a value to the happy feeling it gives people. I know that&#039;s not how things are, but in my view that&#039;s the core of the grading inconsistency problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
