Most of us start out saying its the luster, the lack of marks, the strike or the color of a coin that is
the most important. The truth of the matter is that it is all of them, taken together to give you and
overal impression. That is how PCGS grader grad a coin, the look at the totality and then check the
more technical aspects. Now in evaluating a coin, one must also consider the slab a coin comes in,
the grade and the price.Everything about a coin should come together, in a pleasing manner that
convinces you to buy it.

In all things in life, balance is the key. I have seen beautiful coins that lacked balnce such as an area of ugly discolor
on MS-67 L.S Quarter, or a mark on the face that just drew my eye to it like a magnet. For me, everything has to come
together in a pleasing and balanced manner, for me to be happy with a coin. In other words, the coin must call out and talk
to me.

Honestly, the design is the most important factor for me. When I find a nice design, I assess it's overall appeal, factoring in surfaces and color, and then strike and luster.
Most important is a nice overall look, a combination of all factors with no distractions. I can't stand spots and distracting marks that draw the eye immediately away from a beautiful design.
