    Why are they handling the coins without gloves on?

  • @CoinTalk72
    @CoinTalk72 10 років тому +14

    I took coin grading one and coin grading two at the American Numismatic Association's Summer Seminar... I find it amazing that PCGS graders could grade around 1000+ coins per day, with rather great accuracy! Nice job!

      @jwt4810 10 років тому +1

      Wow that's insane. For an 8 hr work day that means they're grading a coin in roughly 2 minutes or less. I'm sure it can vary a little some coins may take less time or more but still that's a crazy amount of coins to look at!

    • @CoinTalk72
      @CoinTalk72 10 років тому +1

      James Tisdale Nope they grade coins about 5 seconds ( they take the coin out of the flip, grade the coin, put the coin back into the holder, and then enter the coin's grade into the computer ) all around 10-20 seconds!!!

      Nope, I have only seen a few fakes in PCGS holders out of millions examined. PCGS buys their extremely rare mistakes at fair market value.

    So if all the PGCS graders are working independently, doesn't that make the grade very subjective to that grader? 🧐🧐🧐

    I am collecting the new Orleans $10 gold eagle no motto and it's got to be only in a pcgs holder. Talked to any dealer and they will tell you the same thing. There's a big difference in price between ngc and pcgs. I saw a lot of new Orleans $10 gold in a ngc holder and I asked a lot dealers if the coin can cross. 99% of them say no. You will have to pay more for the coins in the pcgs holder. Sorry but that's just the way it goes.

      @YoloBagels 4 роки тому +1

      Gloves numb your fingers and make it easier to drop a coin. If you are capable of properly holding a coin (by the edges, not touching the face) then wearing gloves is not needed. Gloves would severely reduce efficiency by making it harder for graders to take out/put in coins into their holders as well as add a higher risk of dropping/damaging the coin.

      I found this on their website in the FAQ section. PCGS graders and sealers are experts in the proper care and handling of coins. While gloves offer additional protection, they reduce the tactile sensations necessary to properly manipulate coins during the grading process and could increase the chance of dropping a coin.

      Overall, PCGS's grading standards are bit more conservative than NGC's, although their grading is identical around 90% of the time. Curiously, NGC's copper color designations are stricter. But PCGS's coins, including copper, almost always bring more than NGC's due to the market's perception. Just check auction prices realized for proof.
