One More Regrade Question

Hi David:

You have stated many times that the graders see regrade submission coins raw, and do not know the original grade. Yet, if the coin will always come back at the same grade or higher, someone must see the original grade. Otherwise, if an original 65 is regraded at the 64 level, someone must override it to put it back in a 65 holder. Is that just a clerical function for the holdering staff, or does a finalizer handle that situation. If a finalizing grader does it, might he be tempted to knock down a 66 regrade when he realizes it was originally a 65?

Cheers

Greg

    The original grade is entered into the PCGS data base during the receiving process. If the grade gets lowered, the computer will adjust it back to the original grade, but first the verifier will look at the coin to make sure it's just a liner and not a mistake that should be changed into a guarantee resubmission...
