<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 1294731, member: 18211&quot;]Unfortunately, as long as humans are doing the buying, selling, grading, setting standards for grading, and interpreting those standards there will be variability, inconsistencies, mistakes, and mistrust. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps one day, a TPG will revolutionize the grading process with a computerized image analysis process that is able to digitally quantify coin characteristics such as wear, bag marks, scratches, defects, luster, and eye appeal — and detect counterfeits, alterations, and cleaned coins in the process. It would make possible a much more refined scoring system to replace the current 70-point system. The technology for such a system actually exists today — military image analysis, facial recognition, industrial quality-control inspection systems, and DNA analysis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
