<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Apocalypse Cow, post: 1375935, member: 24651&quot;]Thinking in the way you mean is not required for grading a coin. Just like the computer that can take an Airbus A380 from the runway in London and land in New York does not think and yet it can completely perform the job of a pilot who does. And many times do the job better. I submit that flying a jumbo jet half way around the world is a far more complex task than grading a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>As to the point that computers can&#039;t evaluate something subjective like beauty, they not only can but do. There have been several examples of programs that can look at a face and predict accurately how attractive it will be to other people. </p><p><br /></p><p>The more I think about it the more sure I am that the tech required to machine grade not only already exists but it&#039;s not even cutting edge anymore. As to it being inevitable I&#039;ve reconsidered. To come about would require a commitment form one of the big two and market acceptance which I don&#039;t see happening. And that doesn&#039;t disappoint me either. I don&#039;t think it would be a good thing for the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
