Thad I was not talking about a money value , but when a coin is net graded each distraction should have a value if none can be applied in a consistent way then why grade coins at all .
That is my problem with net grading , the arbitrary nature of the practice is a problem and I think is one of the reasons why there is so much variation in grade from person to the next .

I knew you meant a point scale bro. It's just almost impossible to do a mathmatical grade on a coin with so many marks. At least I'm not will to count all those marks. ROFL We're also talking about a very low grade coin, the values would have to be 0.1 and less (depending on severity). I totally understand your point, but that's also why computer grading never worked. LOL

By the way , both of your coins technically grade G-4 .
I have hundreds of very nice even colored G-6 Lincoln cents , you don't seriously think I chose this one at random do you ?

When I saw the coin I knew it was a trick question. You sneaky devil!

I voiced my opinion before about a coin being net graded below the details grade , it just makes no sense if it can happen at this level then it surely must happen at all levels including MS .
grade and appeal do not always come together , this coin I posted does not appeal to me and I would not buy it , but technically its still a G-6 1920 LWC just an ugly one .

Of course a coin will be net graded below the details. That's something that won't ever change in collecting because there's a human side to grading.....appeal.
Pretend for a moment that your coin is a 1914D. You have cash in your hand, the dealer wants G-6 money ($200). He tells you, look at the details! You laugh and offer him AG money ($100) because of the low appeal factor. Like you said, you wouldn't buy that coin. Regardless of the detail level, that coin would probably only fetch AG money; so in many ways, that is also the appropriate grade. At least that's one way of looking at it.
Metalman, this is one of the coolest ideas ever posted on CC (grading scale evaluations). I'm loving this!
Thanks my friend!
