Message:: [QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 402433, member: 9308"]Andy NOW , We are getting somewhere. I think what you are describing without trying to is the defferance between market and technical grading. I believe a computer is fully capable of technical grading, providing a data base of charachteristics be human entered. When we evaluate coins in slab, we are mentally market grading them ourselves without thinking about it. Is this an average or a primo AU-55? Super strike? Mark free? Color? Is this worth AU-50 " bid " or " ask " or MS-60++ money ??? Case in point. I just sold a pair of AU-55 Lincolns yesterday, and on the 24-D, the buyer choose from 4 different coins, all graded 55 by either NGC or PCGS, then 2 graded 50 and 53, and all different. He chose, and paid more , for the best coin, my X-personal set NGC AU-55. Eye appeal !!! All technically AU and all different to the human eye.[/QUOTE]
