<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jakoman, post: 1716992, member: 50646&quot;]If it spit out rolls/partial rolls for each individual date/mintmark with the capability to run thousands of coins(enough to make that kind of sorting worthwhile) I would see a use with large scale dealers.&nbsp; That is talking a lot of money,&nbsp; also that would mean a top and bottom scan of the coins as to not have to flip them in machine.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; The problem is you dont want to have to run your coins thorugh such a machine 100-200 times just for a complete sort,&nbsp; think about the wear on uncirculated coins the bin and sorting could cause to a valuable coin.&nbsp; If you are talking about for personal use you could use low res scans,&nbsp; size detection for denomination and if the right size just search for asked for date pattern,&nbsp; would only be checking 3 things,&nbsp; the last 3 of date and mintmark.&nbsp; I dont see checking that a penny is a penny,&nbsp; just checking that something resembling the patterns is in the right location.&nbsp; the key is to keep it simple in the comparison,&nbsp; If you are using a sorting method that has the coin rolling on side you could just have a camera on each side checking for the pattern in the right spot watching at least one rotation of the coin,&nbsp; that way you would only have to check one spot seeing that the coin will be at the desired orientation somewhere within the range...&nbsp; cheap scanning tech,&nbsp; keep the software simple enough and maybe the collectors that have deeper pockets would buy at a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
