Teach AI how to evaluate toning. A contact mark under the eye vs. one in the hair vs. in the field. Coins are art and there are pros and cons on every one that affect the way we feel about the coin, and AI can’t feel, there’s the bottom line. Every coin engraver worth anything is skillfully employing the elements of his craft to consciously control our eye-movement through the coin, which, in turn, is the chief determinant in how we come away feeling about the coin. We’re the market in this market grading game. I’m going to let some mathematician quantify that activity for me? Maybe you are, I’m not. That’s not how we grade our coins. It’s certainly not how we market grade the coins. We’re not pre-programmed for outcomes, like we’re but machines. We evaluate the strengths and weakness of the grade through feelings, not through predetermined mathematical formulae, or something, namely, as this… [ATTACH=full]1643344[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
