According to the PCGS grading seminar the luster and strike of a coin affect the grade for a mint state coin about the same. About 10%-15% each based on this graph taken from the seminar.

That's a real impressive graph. I always wondered about how PCGS grades coins for its market. Thanks a lot.

I dont think that is an accurate representation of how PCGS actually grades though. It may be what they "want" their grading to be but there's a lot of variation in the theoretical and actual.

Actually, I know. But it is a pretty chart. They're good at making pretty charts. ;)
