<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3657272, member: 15309&quot;]So you are saying that a rainbow toned coin can never hide bag marks or hairlines?&nbsp; Your attempt to diminish the dramatic effect that rainbow toning has on the visual perception of the coin is ridiculous.&nbsp; Furthermore, surface preservation is already given much more weight by the TPGs in the grading process than toning/eye appeal, but that doesn&#039;t mean eye appeal should be given no consideration, like you would have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why is it so hard for you to admit that you simply want to change the current market grading standards employed by TPGs and return to a method of technical grading?</p><p><br /></p><p>And you keep using the line &quot;that is where your argument fails&quot;&nbsp; Who made you the arbiter of who is winning or losing this debate?&nbsp; Look at the scoreboard, the entire US coin market relies on the TPGs, and all of them use market grading instead of technical grading.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t me you are up against, it is the entire market grading system as we know it, a system that I happen to agree with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
