<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V.

Some people (mostly technical grading fans) will insist grading is &quot;all about state of preservation&quot;, yet the PCGS videos claim it&#039;s roughly only 1/4. To me, strike and luster are AT LEAST as important, if not more so, and eye appeal is okay as a concept too, except that what some like, others don&#039;t. I &quot;net grade out&quot; all color premiums, and bid accordingly. If I get the lot, okay, but I will not pay extra for ANY color, and as the PCGS video states, NEVER EVER EVER for modern coins. I net grade them lower, MUCH lower.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
