Why are you getting involved?
.
Who cares? As long as PCGS assigns grades that make me happy when I submit, they can hire kindergarteners to grade for all I care.
Personal attacks that have nothing to do with YOU could get YOU banned.
Stay out of it, not your business. Defemation of character surrounding a job isn’t where I would want to be stirring the pot.

Before this gets completely out-of-hand, we should remember that simply because someone says or types something does not mean it actually happened.

I think it is insulting to our host to suggest it would hire some random collector off of the street with no training or supervision. I am not a TPGS grader, but I'm sure there is more involved. Maybe @ColonelJessup could tell you more.
I also think it is a bit odd to rely on unsubstantiated hearsay. Do we know this is a fact or is this merely a case of someone spouting off at the keyboard?

I must have missed the excitement. Are the threads and or posts still around ?
That would be a job I would personally have no desire for...I could not look at 500 Pos A dollar coins a day!
X Sorry, I came to the food fight too late, only about 30 seconds before it was over.
I quoted the OP in this thread because I thought he would delete it as he has done in the past.
Oh man...
That escalated quickly.
It is better than all of those monster green boxes of blast white silver eagles!
Ya but its a weekend , seems like a good idea for a weekend thread. Some of the best dumpster fires flare up on weekends
If it is on line it's the truth.
Hoard the keys.
The thread was removed as the person that got ripped-off on the purchase of the toned dimes was under age, at the time. The kid overestimated the grades and It quickly turned into a brutal arguement involving legal advise on the sale/contract.
To op where was that mentioned?
Along with making a false statement about a company that post here. I dont see how in any form PCGS will involve this to happen and if so true I am sure they wanted discretion on it.
Wow... Just passing through.... Have a great day... Cheers, RickO
Just dumb luck, but I did have the pleasure(?) to experience the whole sordid affair in real time as it unfolded last night. Whew!
Missed it..................oh well

Most of the excitement was captured in @cameonut2011 's post above. His post with the quote was a quick action to record the original post, and it disappeared only minutes later (while I was reading the thread last night).
Not sure what to say on the larger issue. The person referenced initiated a weird and ultimately very contentious thread some months ago, and now (not sure how it is known) he supposedly is up for a job at PCGS, unrelated to his prior shenanigans, of course.
One thing I don't get is, that poster was apparently a minor several months ago, so how would he be in the running for a job at PCGS where they were going to fly him out for an interview? At best he is 18 now - what could his resume possibly look like? Anyway, I assume PCGS will do what is best for them and their customers, whatever that may be. And the whole thing could even be a hoax by the disgruntled banned poster.
In any case, I am not going to lose any sleep over it.

The idea of spending the next 5 working years grading ms69 to ms70 silver eagles. FML.

I always miss the good threads!

what's w/all the stress and useless energy (including mine) about a non issue.
I'll bet a sample slab to the first CU member that the person in question will not get the job.
end of story.
Part of the hiring process is interviewing interested applicants. I'm sure that PCGS will conduct a proper interview and test appropriately. Interviews, in my experience, are usually written and oral.

I dont imagine pcgs is flying random people into CA spending hundreds of dollars unless the person has some credibility or history behind their grading skills.
I received an email from Gary 24 hours before the first post in this thread. In the email to me Gary never said "pcgs is flying me out to do a test grade. if i pass, i'll be a grader in august."
What he said in my email was that a friend of his, who works for a well known auction house, told him he (the auction house employee) "could talk to some people and that PCGS shouldoffer to fly me out for the test grade."
Gary, being young, was excited and his exuberance was abundantly evident. Being a grader at PCGS has been his dream job since he was 14, he'll be 18 in July. I can't blame him for his excitement over the prospect of being tested for something he has wanted since his interest in numismatics was born. Who wouldn't be excited if an opportunity to test for their dream job arose?

Something sure was lost in translation somewhere.... That version seems a bit more realistic.
I am glad that he is an eager young collector, but I recall that prior thread and to be successful he will need not only a good eye but also some maturity and judgment skills. if only to negotiate the office politics and get along with his co-workers. If he has a good eye for grading, the other qualities should be easier to acquire.
cheat thread!?!?
