As part of PCGS' excellent online webinar Coin Grading 101 on YouTube, the following graph was presented and discussed at length as the "Components of Mint State Coin Grading"
How do you feel about the distribution here? (Note: if you need clarity on precisely what these things mean according to PCGS, please watch the webinar - it's nearly an hour of great, free education on the fundamentals of their approach).

Its relative size? Every other aspect is tied into the red...I wonder if the pie slices should be different for each scenario. After all, many of these attributes carry different weight in the grading of each series, year and MM, despite the poll I did long ago that showed many did not think these things vary for the grading of each issue, year, mm etc. Besides, its subjective and variable according to experience.
I was thinking of this sort of thing just today. Nothing to report yet
Curious to hear other views.

If it's their standard it should be yours. Again, if you want them to assign the grade.
Individuals will place more or less importance on other areas.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

It's in the video, but here is a link to the exact time when they list the aspects of "Eye Appeal".
<< <i>Good video. I will be looking forward to 102 and 103. >>
At the end of the video, they explain that further content is available for a fee. I do not expect that further content will be available for free.

Yeah, I would think surface, strike, and luster are the most important in Eye Appeal, with tone in the mix as well, but that is a little more specific to individual tastes.

I am quite confident that this is acknowledged either in this webinar, or in the following webinars. This is just "101", and as much as it DOES go into quite a bit of detail, there is no accounting for the grand depth of grading the range of MS coins in a 45 minute intro.
