[QUOTE="chip, post: 2353096, member: 19122"]I think it was mentioned that centering is objective, the margins of a note can be measured to the thickness of a hair. I think, from my short experience that epq and ppq are not reliant on centering, I have some notes that are not centered well yet have the ppq notation. I do think centering also plays a part in eye appeal in that the margins of a note are similar to a frame on a painting. I have seen notes that were trimmed but wether they were trimmed to make the centering better or to get rid of a rough edge I do not know, but I would not knowingly buy a trimmed note. Your question is a good one, just like toning can become desirable, and blast white loses cache, could centering become less important and off centering considered more appealing? But as far as commonality, perfectly centered notes seem much rarer than notes that are off centered, whereas pleasingly toned coins also seem rarer than coins that are not that sort of rainbow coloring book toning.[/QUOTE]
