Or rather, sorting out grades with a few general categories. To judge a coin well, especially a higher grade, would seem to require a sense of aesthetics, and it&#039;ll be a while before computers have that, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>But really, theres no way to tell. It might be possible for a really clever programmer to figure out a way for a coin to be judged with a great deal of accuracy with near current technology, or it could require the development of limited artificial intelligences which I believe are still pretty far off--hardware like the hypothetical neural net thats supposed to emulate the way a human brain thinks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
