If I am, I have to wonder why you are thinking that because what I got out of the article was definitely not THAT ! For example, this is a direct quote from the article - [I]"Technical grading was not suitable for the coin market where strike, friction wear, and especially eye appeal are very important."[/I] Now reading that, how could anyone ever think that Mike is proposing a return to technical grading ? I mean he's flat out telling you that technical grading, [U]when used all by itself[/U], simply doesn't work ! What he is saying is exactly what I said in post #8 of this thread. And he himself confirms that in post #11. And none of this is anything new, it's been around for over 30 years ! It dates back to 1986 when the market grading system was created.
