<p>[QUOTE="Midas, post: 70176, member: 2761"]Computers and mathematics are an exact science. 2 plus 2 equals 4. Delta values (which means change of) are real as the answer to 2 minus 1. Of course if you are alluding to the vast right-wing conspiracy which is the problem of everything, you may have a point. Nothing is perfect and those evil people are cooking computer programs as we speak. Could it happen? Sure it could just like when all of the cops got together during the O.J. Simpson trial and asked each other, "We're gotta frame Simpson...are you in?"</p><p><br /></p><p>I shouldn't have used the terms "just imagine" or other ficticous terms to draw comparisons to and from. So let's <u>not</u> imagine or draw comparisons to Judge Judy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should have stated, "You are in front of a REAL judge and have to make the following REAL arguements as I outlined in my previous post..."

If that dealer told me that he has a given coin graded by ____ as ____, then I really couldn't blame him.

So let's [U]not[/U] imagine or draw comparisons to Judge Judy. I should have stated, "You are in front of a REAL judge and have to make the following REAL arguements as I outlined in my previous post..." Which argument would a REAL judge find judgment for? I should have also stated that a dealer that lists his coin as MS65 whereas you think it is a MS63 is NOT a matter of open conversation, but private thoughts during the buying process.

So my post was not entended to be LITERAL as these issues occur all of the time when a seller thinks one way and the buyer thinks (to himself) the other. Sure you can walk away and make a note that ____ Coin Shop is for nothing, but your time is already wasted. Of course you are NOT going to tell him OUT LOUD that he can't grade, but you will think it and quietly call the seller a $%*&$%#. If you can think of another method to consistently grade coins technically and by eye appeal without human subjectivity as a 3rd party medium, I am all ears. Otherwise, trust me![/QUOTE]
