<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3667216, member: 15309&quot;]Can you show me an example of where a coin has been graded on eye appeal alone?&nbsp; You are claiming that the TPGs are bumping the grades 2-3 points over the grade warranted by surface preservation, but I don&#039;t see that.&nbsp; The overwhelming majority of color bumps I see are limited to one grade up, and usually I don&#039;t have a problem with the assigned grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as leveling the playing field, I&#039;m not sure what you are referring to.&nbsp; In a general sense, the existence of TPGs levels the playing field between collector and dealer, but grade bumps based on eye appeal are an increase in subjectivity and make market grading more difficult to understand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
