<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 95909, member: 4373&quot;]Speedy: blame the admins who aren&#039;t maintaining those machines properly. No excuses, they are getting paid for doing proper maintainences or the stores aren&#039;t looking for a proper admin. In reality, machines have to work all the time or else you will have a screwed economy. Taking the example of a stock exchange, if the main and backup machines go down, you will have businesses going down and amounting to millions if not billions of dolloars of loss. So far, this rarely happened or not to what I know of thankfully. </p><p><br /></p><p>Midas: Yes I know those exist. But do you have an idea of how much cost to set up such equipments? Those equipments are mainly used in the medicial and geological surveying teams but those big players DO have the money to play around in the first place. Maybe if the grading companies have more than 100+ million dollars to play around with (that&#039;s what I heard from some mining surveying teams) (probably a lot cheaper when it comes down to coins), then this can be a reality. Perhaps, this might be an excellent tool to differentiate M69 and the ever &quot;scarce&quot; MS70. </p><p><br /></p><p>But even so, this only solves modern coinage - it does not help to solve crude striking coinages, ie pre 1800s. No matter how big database it can ever get, I just don&#039;t see how it can cut it. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;OMG AWFUL PLANCHETS DURING THAT TIME!!! HOW TO GRADE?!?!?!?!&quot;</p><p>&quot;manually struck coins - uneven&quot; </p><p>&quot;overstriked coins, too many features!!!!!!&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Plenty of blue screen of death, mate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, how can this be put to use against coins with slight dirt against old-proof / metal parasite damage / PVC / cleaned / whizzed, etc coins???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
