Kind of neat...at least the parts in between DH talking.
Full Version: PCGS Grading Process Video
that was great.. gratzi
Great link - thanks for posting.
Damn, it blew me away, those "graders" handeling those coins w/o gloves.
Dave say's PCGS is the #1 TPG, I don't think that will be true long!

Thanks, really enjoyed that. I also was surprised that they handled coins without gloves.
Interesting! Thanks for the link Stujoe.
What it did not answer for me was how they determine the grades for world coins. There is no way they have people there that can know all the details of world coinage to know what the standard is to grade against, what strikes are naturally low relief, etc.

There's something weird going on with Mr. Hall's ears; at some points, it looks like he has none.
Anyway, great video, I never realised they were so thorough.

You're right they don't - they send the coins out to be graded by others.

Will probably surprise more then to learn that none of the TPG graders wear gloves when grading coins.

I was told none of the TPG graders wear gloves because it causes clumziness when handling the coins???!!?

That was interesting. I always wondered what it looked like inside a TPG.

I am thoroughly shocked that these guys are not using gloves--Here I am using gloves to insert coins into their sleeves--Now I know where those finger prints came from--What? I am to use gloves to keeps oils off the coins but these guys can piss on my coin with there oily hands?? 
If true that all TPG's do not use gloves really now is starting to concern me--
