<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 404772, member: 112&quot;]Mike just like you and whole lot of other people, I would much prefer that value had absolutely nothing to do with the grade of a coin. However, terminology is important when speaking about grading because we can&#039;t call it something it isn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Technical grading is what we had prior to 1986. But technical grading leaves out too many aspects that are truly important to the grade of a coin, things like quality of strike, quality or degree of luster, eye appeal, location of contact marks - none of these things are considered when determining the grade of a coin using the technical grading system. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t know about you or anyone else, but I would prefer to use a grading system that has 1 aspect that I do not like over another grading system that does not have 4 aspects that I feel are essential to the grade of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
