Wouldn't being a grader drive you nuts?

relayer

Someone posted their submission results, and I was thinking how tedious it would be to sit there all day grading coins.

66,66,66,67,66,66,65,66,66,67,66... <lunch> 66,65,66,67,66,65,66,66,67,63,64,66,65,67...

or how about grading a ton of statehood proofs

69,69,69,69,69,69,69,68,69,69,69,69,69,69,68,69,69,69,69,69,69,69,69....

yea, that would be murder unless they are grading mine they oh what fun

I've got a pair off 2000 bi-metallics (PR&MS) in just now and hope they come out alright

If that was my full time job, it'd be hard. Thankfully, though, I can do it recreationally!

Yeah I know I have to take a break after an hour of looking thru coins.Eye,back strain.

yeah I'm sure being a grader is tedious but imagine all the awesome coins they get to see, If I was a grader, grading one 1943 copper would make up for all the state quarters I've graded all year.

I think it'd be hard. I have a lot of respect for those guys. I don't have the skills to do it and I have Attention Deficit Disorder so after about 16 coins I'd be staring at the wall. Can't see how they can grade over 1,000 coins a day and stay accurate and consistent. I'd be consistently innacurate.

I also think after looking at coins all day, every day, even a 1943 copper cent wouldn't get my blood pumping. After grading 100,000 Morgan dollars I can't see getting excited about one even if it's a 1893-S in MS-67. Maybe if it was an 1893-S MS-67 DMPL. You'd have to be dead not to be blown away by that non-existent coin.

yeah, it'd be hard to do a job where you get nothing but grief . . . .. .
