<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 7856007, member: 73995&quot;][USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] It seems technical grading has come up often this past week. I even put up a GTG using technical grading in the title. I had thought originally that conservative was the best word, but it really isn&#039;t in my opinion. Conservatively IMO would be defined as maybe being to harsh on a coin. IE downgrading a coin due to either to much wear or not enough luster, weak strike, too many contact marks etc.</p><p>Technical standards are what most of us were taught. One big technical standard is the presence of wear no matter how the coin was handled/stored, It doesn&#039;t get upgraded because it sat in a cabinet, It also doesn&#039;t get MS just because it is evident that it was stacked.</p><p>Conservatively= harsh/tough on the coin.</p><p>Technical= grade based only on its merit&#039;s.</p><p>Market= overlooking one aspect and rewarding it for another.</p><p>Also Market grading is tricky, one day the market says X characteristic is appealing and another day Y is appealing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
