<p>[QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 2819220, member: 85251"]It can because eye appeal is a factor in the grade. For me though when I buy a toned coin the eye appeal isn't just a factor it's the #1 priority and everything else is secondary. I bought the coin in my avatar as a 66 and would have paid the same if it was a 65, the grade is just a number and it doesn't even enter my mind with that coin because the eye appeal is so great in hand (it would not CAC or come even close to it and that doesn't bother me at all). Others may disagree with that. When I buy a blast white coin though, I really focus on getting a nice for the grade coin that's where strike and surfaces become my focus (and luster which toned or not is always a must for me).</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC has their star rating which instead of giving a major bump they add the star which I like a lot but those get pricey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
