<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 402334, member: 3011&quot;]It would be more proper to say it &quot;didn&#039;t&quot; work.&nbsp; Technology doesn&#039;t stand still and I think it&#039;s a virtual certainty that advances in optical and computing technology will enable technical grading to take place with more consistency than any human can hope to achieve.&nbsp; If machines can measure flaws down to micron levels and quantify them, coin grading based on detection of wear and contact marks isn&#039;t an overly difficult task.&nbsp; Eye appeal will probably remain a human grader&#039;s function.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very possible that this can be done today except for the fact that there is no financial reason to spend R&amp;D dollars in this area because there is no profit in it.&nbsp; Someday, the technology will become so inexpensive and commonplace that human grading will become obsolete.&nbsp; Then it becomes a matter of preference for the various computer grading software packages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
