GRADING USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Competition is heating up in the sports card grading space - NGC parent Certified Collectibles Group announced it will "make use of artificial intelligence to automate many of the more time-consuming aspects of grading." Is AI coming to numismatic grading as well?

Certified Collectibles Group will launch its sports card grading division next month.

Last year, the company announced its intention to launch CSG in the wake of unprecedented backlogs at established graders PSA, SGC and Beckett Grading Services. A large, global company with nearly 400 employees and headquartered in Sarasota, FL, CCG is already well-known for grading comic books, magazines, concert posters, coins and paper money.

CSG says it will make use of artificial intelligence to automate many of the more time-consuming aspects of grading, such as measuring its centering and attribution. CGS graders will be equipped with forensic devices that reveal alterations and hidden details through infrared and UV lighting, ultra-microscopic inspections and non-destructive ink and paper analysis.

The CSG holder and labels include a detailed description of the card, its grade, its unique CSG certification number and a QR code to facilitate verification. CSG says its holder and label "feature extensive security elements to prevent against tampering and counterfeiting."
