In particular, the video linked on this page. You get to see a little bit of the grading process.

Looks like they were grading one of Russ's or Marty's submissions toward the end there.

The video is fairly recent. Thanks for the link. I see one of the graders was grading peace nicks on a bulk order. The order came in the same platic tubes I use. I sent in a peace bulk order, I wonder if it was my order?

ttt for the evening crowd

Simply great thread, thanks for posting it. It seems an order is done in its entirety by one person. Then at least one other does the same thing, sometimes a third. There has been a lot of conjecture here about it, now we know. That guy putting the slabs in the sonic sealer better count his fingers every night.

Why did the production manager have a bottle of Ronsonol lighter fluid?

Cool video!

No one was wearing gloves while inspecting coins (as others have pointed out), and if I had submitted - say - a six figure proof coin (or any proof coin for that matter) I would be more than a little upset by their handling technique.

Betta285 · February 28, 2005 9:47PM

Not using gloves upsets me also, but I believe someone perviously said (David Hall?) that gloves don't provide as much grip for handling coins as your fingers do and this is why they don't use them. In my opinion, it would be "better" to slip-up and place a fingerprint on an MS67 Saint, than to drop it, possibly bringing it down to AU.

Well I would think that rubber finger cots might be in order for really pricey coins.

BAJJERFAN · February 28, 2005 10:04PM

I had one person tell me that he would never submit a rare or pricey coin to PCGS because he would worry that he might not get the same coin back LOL.

Great new video. Thanks. Steve

How does the guy flipping the small silver-looking coins with the fingers of one hand keep from touching the surface?
