<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8455278, member: 24314&quot;]I&#039;m afraid you still don&#039;t get it.&nbsp; If I take a coin in <span style="color: #b30000">G-4</span>, put it in some kind of high power analyzer with never changing light type + intensity so that every single characteristic of the coin is mapped including shape, marks, metal composition,. thickness, weight, color, defects, reflectivity, etc. THE COIN WILL BE &quot;FINGERPRINTED.&quot;&nbsp; In fact the AI is so good that I can put only 1/5 of the coin in the machine and it will still be properly ID&#039;ed at the &quot;forever grade.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, that I have a record of that coin - I CAN CALL IT ANYTHING I WISH!&nbsp; Let&#039;s call it <span style="color: #b30000">MS-65</span>.&nbsp; for this exercise.&nbsp;&nbsp; So you and I can agree that the coin&#039;s grade will not change.&nbsp; THAT&#039;s A GOOD THING BECAUSE THAT WILL &quot;cement&quot; A STANDARD.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your disagreement pertaining to future changes in an evolving</p><p>professional <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie18" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> grading NON-STANDARD as we have now, the AI will not allow it.&nbsp; When I try to tell the computer the G-4 above is to be called MS-65, it will spit it out to be regraded. </p><p><br /></p><p>Grading is easy if all the fluff is first removed.&nbsp; I&#039;ll bet if I can take five of the best graders in the country and ask them to grade a twenty dollar Liberty VERY STRICTLY and ONLY by its condition of preservation (friction wear if any and non-Mint made marks marks - excluding color, strike, rariety, etc) they will get the same grade. The one that goes into the computer &quot;fingerprint.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>That way a beautiful, colorful, fantastic looking MS-64+ one-of-a-kind wonder coin <b>will not be graded </b>MS-68 or higher although it will be worth that money.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Grade the coin correctly, let the market put a value on it due to its &quot;fluff.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
