I’m in the same camp as the ANA Grading Standards where stellar eye appeal is merely a requisite for a superb gem grade. If the coin meets the technical merits for the grade, but fails to have the requisite eye appeal, then it should get a lower grade. But if it meet the technical merits and exceeds the requisite eye appeal, then it is graded on the technical merits, and the market adjusts the value upwards accordingly. That way, people are not prone to double-dipping on eye-appeal premiums. That is the single inherent problem with market grading.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, and the metric I’ve read is 60% obverse and 40% reverse. Barring any major distractions on the reverse, I generally abide by this as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
