<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 4507407, member: 15309&quot;]If they were transparent about by proposed system, collectors would already know that the coin was market graded 2 grades above its surface preservation level.&nbsp; The current system of valuing toned coins is based upon a grading system with “zero” transparency.&nbsp; Once the new system is in place, I’m confident that collectors would adjust their method for valuing toned coins and allow the resultant grade to drive the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your different weighting system, it really doesn’t matter what the weights are, as long as they are published and followed.&nbsp; Furthermore, if they would place the individual element grades on the label, it would help people buy coins sight unseen.&nbsp; I consider luster to be king, even more important than surface preservation at the gem+ grades, but it is brutally difficult to judge via photographs.&nbsp; Seeing that L67 or L68 on the label would assist me in placing stronger online bids from places like Heritage, EBay, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
