<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 496808, member: 16060&quot;]I must need to get a life because I read through every post here. After doing that I feel that I have earned the right to make these comments:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Coin grading is subjective, always has been and always will be.&nbsp; Not sure that is entirely a bad thing, doesn&#039;t it make it more fun and enjoyable. </p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure I would like for this hobby to go in the direction of a computer telling us all what grade a coin is.&nbsp; I am certainly not knocking computers, but I don&#039;t want to have sex with one and I don&#039;t want one grading my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; But lets suppose it did go to computers and now we have computers grading our coins.&nbsp; All the TPG companies have it, but each uses a different software.&nbsp; Wouldn&#039;t we end up right back where we started with people thinking one company has a more accurate software than another?&nbsp; Joe&#039;s home tax prep software is better than Dave&#039;s, and on and on.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; A TPG has a software they are using, but it changes to a newer version or changes to another company&#039;s software completely.&nbsp; Does that mean all the coins graded previously by their old software may not be accurate?&nbsp; What do you do now, send all of your coins back in to be regraded?</p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; I truly admire the knowledge many of you have here, and I know I will never reach the level many of you are at. But that is okay, this is a hobby, I do this for pleasure and enjoyment as I think most people do.&nbsp; To use a comparison most coin collectors are into being a participant in dirt track racing, not NASCAR or Indy cars.</p><p><br /></p><p>6.&nbsp; I just had a horrible thought.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to the show in Orlando today.&nbsp; I get there and there are only vending machines with various types of slabbed coins.&nbsp; Such as some machines with Peace Dollars, some with IHCs, and so on. They are all slabbed and I see one in a grade and price I can afford.&nbsp; I put my money in the vending machine, get my coin, and drive back home.&nbsp; Gosh!&nbsp; That was so much fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
