<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 3350077, member: 76863&quot;]Everyone has things that are unacceptable to them and views certain problems differently.&nbsp; Small old/light scratches don&#039;t bother me much especially out of a focal point and I would take some extra hits on a coin that has superior eye appeal while others would be the opposite.&nbsp; Just like it drives me crazy to see high grade ugly dindgy dog coins just because they don&#039;t have a lot of hits. Generally eye appeal rules that day and most people have issues that are fine with overlooking for otherwise nice coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s up to all of us to decide what issues (if any) we are willing to overlook.&nbsp; Are their straight graded coins I wouldn&#039;t have given a clean grade too yes of course, but there are also details coins that have an issue that doesn&#039;t bother me much where I would have given a clean grade too.&nbsp; It goes both ways it&#039;s just that only one way gets focused on by a lot of people so it seems disproportionate from responses.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s plenty of room to wonder why an EACer felt they way they did or disagreed with the grade of another member.&nbsp; There is actually no official EAC grade either just people who belong there with their grades and if it was as technical and straight forward as you are trying to present it, the top experts there wouldn&#039;t be assigning different grades to things which is a result of ambiguity and different opinions.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not knocking EAC and their methods work for them as too many of their practices of oils and brushes generally lead to details coins at the TPGs, but the grading from their members is no where near as straight forward or standardized as you are trying to present it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t change on a whim like that.&nbsp; Only the uninformed or those with little to no experience believe that.&nbsp; Just like only on the internet are crackouts automatic upgrades.&nbsp; Anything changing that rapidly is just things that were borderline and could have gone either way to begin with.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And you haven&#039;t seen all of them in hand to actually know how bad they are.&nbsp; Circulated coins can in fact get hairlines from circulating especially coins from a time frame where a lot of people were traveling on horseback with saddle bags ect.&nbsp; Digital pictures can also exacerbate things to look like an issue that really aren&#039;t.&nbsp; You take far too many pictures from various sources and coins you&#039;ve never seen in hand to try and eviscerate the TPGs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
