    I had heard rumours that if you show up at their door with 10 coins for the 1 day walk through, you could get a quickie tour of the facility.


    ......what grades did you get ???

    I had replied to it, but don't remember it at all. It does explain why verification takes so long.

    Great Thread Marty, truly have a amazing mind to think up these GREAT mind trips we wish we could all be on to see what really goes on in the grading areas. Hope the powers that be have a good sense of HUMOR. Everyone needs a good laugh now and then.imageimageimage
    Enjoying time at home with the family now is my full time passion.

    I was glad that primates are being used to verity the final grade.

    I was afraid that chickens were being used.image

    Here's an update regarding the "finalizers" since this thread was originally started:

    Due to ever-increasing demand/volume of submissions, the primates, "er-final graders" @ the SAN Zoo couldn't keep up, resulting in unacceptable turnaround time for grading. So, a new group of final graders-primates from the SAN Wild Animal Park were pressed into service. The final graders especially enjoy grading the new Wisconson State Quarters because they think the ear of corn is a banana! image

    We then proceeded to the sealing room, right before we entered there was a hole in the wall, I asked what that was for. It was explained that if your order had a red X placed on it from shipping your best coin was inserted here for fingerprinting!

    ? does this mean fingerprints applied to the coins?

    Well worth the 5 seconds of reading- but I am to understand that the moderns are now in 3 second mode and are coming out as ms64's- becuz PCGS is now selling on SAHTV! all the 69's go to them...

    Actually Mad Marty did a Mission Impossible entry. It was midnight and the security guards at Pgcs were asleep. Marty parachuted from a helicopter onto the roof of pgcs. He entered through the skylight (imagine that music dump dump dump- dome). He cuts a big-big-big-BIG hole in the skylight, and drops down 6 inches from the touch sensitive floor. He lets one of his ferrets run between the laser beams and shut off the security controls. O.K. NOW I NEED HELP FROM YOU GUS AND GIRLS OUT THERE.

    <<<
    P.S. What next - "whitening" those slightly off-white silver coins while I am there as well? >>>


    Don't laugh, I've heard that some of the 'better' coin doctors have already experimented with teeth whitining laser equipment to alter the luster on silver coins.
