[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3661103, member: 15309"]I am listening, you and your friends think the only aspect of grading that deserves merit is surface preservation. I disagree and think that luster and eye appeal are very important factors, and strike can be a significant factor on some coins as well. This has nothing to do with oxide layers that are invisible to the naked eye, I merely mentioned that as a rebuttal to the fact that Typecoin called rainbow toned coins damaged. Outside that narrow application, you don't need to worry about surface chemistry. I have no idea what you were trying to convey in the sentences highlighted in red. Honestly, I read this post last night and though you had too many beers. Yes, eliminating technical grading is going out of style, because it is already dead. The TPGs killed technical grading and you guys who can't accept it are now basically a fringe group.[/QUOTE]
