I’ll bet the receiving departments at the grading services have to deal with some funny (or maybe frustrating) things. I’ve used WalMart bags as packing material. People have probably sent huge boxes with one little coin inside. It wouldn’t surprise me if there have been some well-meaning submiters who were so concerned with packing the box correctly that they forgot to put the coins inside! Having worked at jobs where I’ve dealt with the public, I know that anything can happen. It can get pretty comical.

It must get very monotonous opening packages all day, and those that do it well deserve credit.

There is a reward, too. Just think of all the great coins they get to see!

They must see some really interesting stuff - great coins, bad coins, and zillions of different opinions on how best to wrap coins.

I try very hard to wrap my things securely with bubble envelopes in the box, with light packing material.

I like to put smileys on the envelopes for the unpacking guys to let them know that I appreciate what they do.

When I interned at the ANA a year and a half ago it was still the time where you had to submit to NGC through the ANA and the ANA authenticator had to pree screen the coins submitted. That included opening the packages up on video and audio. Sometimes the coins were securly packaged and sometimes not. Alot of times there were notes and stuff included that had to be read, and the coins themselves were neat - especially the values some people put on them. They must have been sad with the grade results.
