<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 837642, member: 23961&quot;]I was watching the PCGS promo on youtube.&nbsp; Their criteria for grading included eye appeal.&nbsp; Look at these two coins.&nbsp; The 1959 quarter is PCGS graded MS64 and the 1922 Peace dollar is NGC graded MS64.&nbsp; I&#039;m not questioning the grade, I&#039;m questioning the eye appeal.&nbsp; The toning on the quarter makes the coin look like it was painted black and the black rubbed off.&nbsp; The Peace dollar has a huge rectangular stain starting in the bottom left covering the whole face.&nbsp; It looks like a tape stain, like it was taped in an album for the last 50 years.&nbsp; The dollar is a little hard to see on the pic, but it&#039;s really noticeable when you see it in person.&nbsp; The reverses of both are in very nice shape--no toning or tape marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple things--the eye appeal on both these coins are the pits.&nbsp; Does ugly toning and tape marks take away from the grading?&nbsp; Why would someone even think about getting an ugly coin graded?&nbsp; Could the toning on the quarter have happened after it was graded?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
