Around the holidays.
Only for girly coins.
I'd guess probably not, just due to the low percentage of women in the field. (Not to ignore Laura Sperber or Charmy or others)
NGC??

I doubt the services are sexist, as the hobby has considerably more men tham women (which is a different discussion) I doubt there are many. I would be fine with female graders.

I met an NGC grader at ANA summer show last year who is a woman. She was at a table discussing Conder tokens, apparently one of the things she grades at NGC.

Yes, they do.

It isn't a male or a female thing but as others pointed out it's simple mathematics. Say there are 250 professional male dealers to every one female. Then say that maybe 1/2 of one percent of professional dealers would be qualified to grade professionally. Suddenly, there is virtually no pool of females from which to draw.

I would wager women would probably be good graders if they have an interest. If you are buying a used car take a nice lady with you. If there is a nick or a scratch she will find it!
If there isn't a nick or a scratch, let her drive it for a couple of minutes.....
No idea on the OP, but there are women floating around ...

I understand there are female graders.... from conversations I have had at large shows in the PNW. Not sure of any employment figures though... it would likely be low since it is a male heavy hobby... Cheers, RickO
