<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 106524, member: 112&quot;]On some coins the stars do play a prominent part in grading, on others they are no more significant than the other devices. But when arriving at a grade it is not uncommon for one coin to be weak ( I am not refering to it being weakly struck ) in a given area and yet strong in another and thus be graded the same as another coin which is quite different in that regard. For example, strong remaining luster can make up for quality of remaining detail. Strong remaining detail can make up for weak luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why so many have a hard time with grading - you have to make adjustments for the coin overall and not just focus on one given area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
