<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1811080, member: 26302&quot;]To me, its proof of why attractiveness shouldn&#039;t be part of the grade,&nbsp; and sight unseen should be a laughable joke or an idea. Grade should be a purely technical measure. When you start incorporating attractiveness you by definition date the coins grade, since what is considered attractive on a coin has changed tremendously over the years. These toned coins in slabs today years past would have had deducts to their grades because of tarnish. The ball may swing back someday, so to me grade should be as technical as possible, knowing such things as where dings are affect the grade to two graders differently. It can never be purely technical, since no two coins are alike, I just believe no coin should be given a higher grade because the grader, on that day, thinks its &quot;pretty&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
