Abstract.

A concrete noun should have very strong imagery, like "brick" or "Clinton". Nouns like "democracy" and "ideal" are difficult to come up with this kind of representation, so they are abstract. "Appreciation" is abstract.

It's abstract. Concrete nouns represent something tangible, something we can detect with one of the five senses. Appreciation is intangible, like love, honor, loyalty, patriotism, fear, etc.
Of course you can show appreciation in a tangible way, but the word itself is abstract.

Abstract. Try grabbing a handful of appreciation.

Yeah, sure..whatever you say.
Nobody appreciates anything, so I'd say...
Its not concrete, not abstract, not Plexiglas, nor wood.
It's simply non-existent.
