<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1858956, member: 112&quot;]Eye appeal is quite simple, it is one of the primary grading criteria.

And conversely a coin can have eye appeal but little to no quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, a coin can be uncirculated, relatively mark free, have no hairlines, be well struck, well centered and on a virtually flawless planchet, and grade MS65 or 66 and thus have quality.
