<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 292297, member: 112&quot;]See what I mean about the two terms being misunderstood ? Now, let&#039;s talk about a few of the comments made so far.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To a degree this is correct. The value of a coin does have an impact on its grade. But there&#039;s a lot more to it than that. More later.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is only partially correct. The quality of strike, luster and eye appeal have no bearing whatsoever on technical grading.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mike what I think you are talking about, based partially on your comments in the other thread, is that in your opinion just because a coin from a given date and mint is known a weak strike, that allowances for the weak strike should not be given. Well, every grading book there is, going clear back to Brown &amp; Dunn, says it should be. You are welcome to your opinion of course.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually it is. You can find it in the ANA grading standards as well as any other current grading book. It is taken into account as part of eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You are apparently going to be surprised to learn that the ANA Grading Guide <u><i>is</i></u> based on the market grading system. It has been since the 3rd edition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
