[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 65827, member: 3011"]Eventually one of two things will happen. First, somebody will figure out a way to implement a common grading standard that will be accepted throughout the industry. I don't know how this will be accomplished, but the person will probably become a legend in the business if they figure out how to get all of the TPGs and major dealers into one consistent system. Second, with the advances in optics, programming, and intelligent systems, somebody will invent a 'grading machine' that will grade coins more accurately than 99% of collectors and TPGs, and be perfectly consistent from coin to coin and year to year. I noticed that many optometrists now utilize a machine that can diagnose prescriptions for eyeglasses simply by scanning the eye.
