<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1374880, member: 15199&quot;]But most of the people on the forum have a human brain, but they still can&#039;t learn to grade.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS uses a laser scanning device and it doesn&#039;t damage the coin. The power would have to be extreme to cause such damage. Laser measuring devices and levels are common in use and do no damage to even absorptive structures. The Turing test is used by humans to determine the &quot;human likeness&quot; in computer programing, so maybe the industry will have to reverse that and find a computer program which can grade such that a good human grader could not distinguish it was artificial.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way several years ago, I researched such patents, and almost all of the major patents on computerized coin grading devices and program algorithms&nbsp; are currently owned by PCGS parent company. Several originated from Computer Science Theses endeavors. Thus I am sure they will be in the forefront and pricing and company profits will reflect this. IMO of course.</p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
