[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1375169, member: 15929"]I, personally, do not think so. I'm thinking 100 Thousand Years since computers can calculate probabilities but you just cannot program "like"! AND, unfortunately, "like" dictates price and price = grade. Folks have tried for a long, long time to "define" a specific grade in absolutes. Dings per square mm, number of hits, depth of hits, acceptable or unacceptable abrasions, luster, lack of luster, full or weak strike and on and on and on. These values simply cannot be equated nor absolutely defined which is what a computer would require. All the different combinations of the above attributes adds even higher levels of incalculable complexity. As such, it all boils down to what folks like vs what folks find acceptable vs what folks find unacceptable. Those three items equal price, according to current market conditions, which have their own levels of complexities. In coin grading, to put it simply, there are no absolutes.[/QUOTE]
