I was just looking at the back page of my October Greysheet and NGC is hiring Numismatists and offering a nice finders fee for referrals. Just saying......

How does a numismatist become a numismatist? I like coins, am I a numismatist?

The short answer is "no."
Long answer, "nope."

So I'm not a numismatist?

Can I work from home?
Do I have to wear a gag and eat laxatives?
I bet you can answer your own question.

If this is from October, I wonder if the positions are filled already.
There don't seem to be any open positions on their website:

@OAKSTAR That definitely describes you. You are hereby crowned as a Numismatist, aka Nuts.
I think the key word in an NGC hiring, would have the word 'numismatist', preceded by the word 'professional'.
I have mustard stains on my shirt, do I qualify?
@LeeBone well I’d definitely hire you. Anyone who likes mustard is a-ok in my book 👍
Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.
I regret that I compared the fate of the slaves in the diamond mines of Namibia to working in the U.S.
I apologize for the raunch that no one laughed at.
@DollarAfterDollar — I’m sorry that I sullied the thread.

Think of the term in degrees..... starting with an individual that saw a neat cent and decided to save it - and maybe more of them..... then buys a book or two, then is interested in dimes or nickels.... then has several or many books on coins.... takes courses from ANA.... They are all numismatists at various levels of knowledge and competence. Cheers, RickO
I don't think that post had the impact you thought it would.
I just cant really see the coin, the picture looks like it was taken with a flip phone in 2006. Is that a recently graded coin that you don't agree with?

NGC labelled the coin wrong. It is a silver 3 cent coin. It may or may not be a proof. I can't tell from the pic.
EDIT - duplicate post
It's a mechanical error, they mistakenly holdered a 3c silver as a 3c nickel.
Thanks for the Clarification, I once was blind but now I see

What a ridiculously cheap shot. I don’t know of any grading companies that haven’t made multiple errors of that type or worse.

If any of you guys qualify and are interested let me know so I can get the finders fee. 🤪
I used to know someone who worked at one of the major TPGs. Lots of coins to look at and a very high burn out rate.

"Sou Mangueira......."
I can't imagine being worker bee in the hive looking at bulk submissions of clad coins....this one is 69, 69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,68,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,68,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,70,69,69,69,. Called to the supervisor's office.."you know you only get 2 70's per shift. Pick up the pace!! Yes Boss. 69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69.
That sounds about as much fun as hitting yourself in the head with a mallet.
