About the finalizer ...

David:

In percentage terms, how often does the finalizer kick back a coin for another examination by graders? And, how many of those coins are re-examined because the finalizer feels they are overgraded vs. undergraded? Finally, how often does the finalizer move a grade up or down by calling for another view?

Thanks,

Randy

    Hi Randy,

    We do not have a finalizer. The graders input their grades into a computer and the computer sets the final grade based on the consensus. After the coin is holdered, we do have a top grader verify the coin. If the verifier disagrees with the grade he can ask another grader for his opinion. If they both agree a change should be made, then a change is indeed made. About 2% of the coins are changed in the verification process.
