<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1938489, member: 26030&quot;]Conder, I just wanted to teach you something you didn&#039;t know!</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out PCGS grading standards (shown below), which is displayed on the PCGS website.&nbsp;&nbsp; Note that EVERY TIME a + appears in the grade, there is a reference to above average &quot;eye appeal&quot;.&nbsp; I circled all those instances in red.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just try to find a reference to eye appeal in the chart below on a line that does not have a + on it.&nbsp; &nbsp; So YES, I was right, a PCGS + coin is noted by the PCGS graders to have above average eye appeal.&nbsp; That being said, PCGS did something that I think is dumb.&nbsp; They MERGED an &quot;in-between grade&quot; designation and the &quot;above average eye appeal&quot; designation into a single + symbol.&nbsp; So a PCGS slabbed coin has to be BOTH in between grades AND have above average eye appeal to get a + designation.&nbsp; While NGC has a cleaner and easier to understand system where they use a STAR to denote above average eye appeal and a PLUS to denote in between grades.&nbsp;&nbsp; In other words, PCGS&#039;s + system is DUMB and RETARDED!&nbsp; NGC&#039;s system using both + and STAR makes infinitely more sense.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/PCGS_Grading_Standards.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
