I'm a little confused, as your conclusion doesn't seem to follow from your statements.

Clearly, I have ranks in neither Notice nor Observe ...

Fixing that mistake in my post.

I would remove Appraise all together and fold that skill description into Craft/Profession. Don't you need some knowledge of an item to appraise it?
I dunno. Does a museum curator know how to make a katana or paint an impressionist masterpiece?

I'd consider giving a +2 for synergistic use of Craft or other appropriate skills, but I think Appraise fits just fine under Observe.
