I take it you expected better? What were the grades you were expecting?

MadMarty · October 29, 2003 1:13PM

Nice turn around, I have a modern order that was received on 9/15 and it's still not done yet!

A popular and experienced member of this forum is now grading moderns for PCGS (actually, he has been for a few months now). I'm not sure if he wants it known so I'll allow him to introduce himself as such if he chooses to.

My modern also arrived the 15th and isn't done.

Maybe it was the same guy who did segoja's

DHeath · October 29, 2003 1:21PM

I was WONDERing when it would happen.

USMC_6115 · October 29, 2003 1:45PM

I can usually grade IKEs okay. These are just about one grade below what I expected. A couple of the silver ones I think could have been two grades higher...Oh well, no biggie. I'll just have to get more picky...

There usually are many changes in September when many of the graders leave to return to school.

Yes I know who this is, the poor guy.... think about having to sit there and grade box after box of white moderns. Of course I hear the wage of 250k per year isn't bad. We're all a bunch of "HOES" that sell our body one way or another. Perhaps he'll move up to white Morgans after a while, kind of like moving up to french fries at the burger joint.

Massscrew I feel your pain. The last two groups I had graded were the stricktest I have seen on any group in the 2 1/2 years of doing moderns. I don't know exactly how many coins I've graded this year but it's in the thousands. I really feel I had a good handle on how the coins should come back. A dissagreement here or there is to be expected. A full point accross the board really bites. If PCGS wants to solve the problems of being too busy they sure will solve it if they keep this up for a few months. No point in sending them coins to get them undergraded.

Clad Ikes can be tricky to grade correctly, line between MS64 and MS65 can be very fuzzy or at least it is for me. I would assume nothing until you can look at the coins in the holders. Sometimes you can see why they graded the coins the way they did when you study the coins in the holders. Of course PCGS also makes grading mistakes.

Nope. Why would a successful Dealer settle for a pay DOWNgrade to $250,000.00 a year to sit in a lonely dark room looking at your State quarters and clad Kennedies?

It is someone else.

It's gotta be Lucy...she's been so quiet lately...

jcping · October 30, 2003 12:58AM

Mmmmm...... both of them are selling (dealing) coins. Go to ebay to find out. Are you sure you folks are thinking the right person

Well, that narrows the field. My next guess is Cameron. Makes perfect sense.

It's not me.

mgoodm3 · October 30, 2003 1:58AM

OK I admit it, it's me. Those moderns are hard to grade, but the magic 8-ball helps alot.

Russ · October 30, 2003 2:01AM

We knew that as soon as we saw the word "popular".

Russ, NCNE

kieferscoins · October 30, 2003 2:02AM

You don't have to be popular to sit alone and grade coins all day.

Did PCGS make some changes in their graders?
