[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2299567, member: 15929"]It would never work since grading by the TPG's is NOT based upon a technical standard. It's based upon the graders "opinion". Often times, MS coins can have disruptions in the field due to some occurance either in the manufacture OR in the handling. Some hits are acceptable. The degree of acceptability is up to the grader as no two coins are exactly alike. All one has to do, when thinking about computer grading, is analyze all the various photo's which get posted on coin forums and all the different "opinions" which get posted by various individuals. 9 out of 10 times, a respected posters opinion will sway the opinions of subsequent posters.

It's nice to dream about computer grading but its simply never going to happen with any respected success.[/QUOTE]
