[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 24822342, member: 20480"]I understand your intent and admire your energy concerning this project, but I do not understand the foregoing statement. How would such a tool make collecting more approachable? The programming behind this tool will be no less fluid than the opinions which its development is intended to address. Don't get me wrong, but no automated tool is going to supplant the sensitivities of different individual buyers / sellers to varying problems and attributes on many coins. There will always be subtleties and nuances to address, and tradeoffs and contradictions to reconcile. How would such a program make collecting more approachable if, after a transaction, the customer still feels remorse because the coin falls short of expectations for the grade, or the seller still feels shafted by a lower grade than seems justified?[/QUOTE]
