<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 32438, member: 824&quot;]I long for the day when laser scanners will take a &quot;perfect&quot; given coin, measure it at thousands of given data points.&nbsp; Those given points will be called &quot;X&quot;. Then we take the subject coin, measure it and we call it &quot;Y&quot;.&nbsp; The difference of X and Y will be the grade.&nbsp; The greater the difference, the lower the grade.&nbsp; The closer Y is to X, the higher&nbsp; the grade.&nbsp; No people, no eyes, no subjectivity!</p><p><br /></p><p>We also can emit a calibrated light source to the coin whereby we can measure the amount of reflection for both color and luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is already being done in other industries and I often mention to people in this industry that they need to get into coin grading.&nbsp; Right now, they have &quot;bigger fish to fry&quot; with defense contractors, security and computer aided designed milling machines, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>But wouldn&#039;t that day be great?&nbsp; That way a Gem BU or MS65 will always be the same...and consistent to boot!</p><p><br /></p><p>Something like this...a long way to go, but that day may come sooner than you think![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
