<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 493431, member: 13342&quot;]Interesting discussion. Computers not only are getting faster, they also improve with the accuracy and effectivity in handling inputs and outputs. In my mind, this is a big part in what makes them &quot;smarter&quot;. I encounter this a lot as an avionics engineer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could see computers helping with the grading of the coins if applied right. At the same time, I think it would be a mistake to completely rely on a computer for the grade. Human input is necessary too. Where I see computers helping the most is by detecting problems that may easily be missed by a guy and a 5x loupe. This might be done by analyzing the structure down to the microscopic detail. It could detect the quantity and location of any harmful oxidation levels, and look for the trends commonly found on cleaned coins. There are times when I have examined my coins under a 30x loupe, and have detected problems only after I have photographed it in high res. You guys may nail me for saying this, but I have encountered a fair amount of problem coins residing in NGC or PCGS slabs. I purchased a XF-45 1909-s vdb in an NGC holder at one point that I ended up sending back to the seller because of corrosion. I&#039;d still want an expert to look at the coin personally and make sure things add up; but I think computers can provide a great bit of assistance.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as creating a new grading standard, I&#039;m not too sure about that one; but I think things can be improved in the coin market a LOT with the aid of technology if used correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
