Coinfrog, all grading books agree that "wear" is the main criteria for grading. Not appearance.
There are 1926 D
LWC that are MS, but are struck from dies so badly worn that the details would be lucky to merit a "good" grade.
Therefore grading from actual wear is a Technical grade.
Grading from "perception" is a market grade, which is what you are doing.
Admittedly most people grade from perception rather than actual wear.
