Shouldn't grading companies be non-profit?

I seen a coin rated 69 and it had visible scratches and wonder WTH.There has to be changes--My opinion

What is your understanding of a non-profit organization versus a regular company?
How would the status of a company being a non-profit affect the grading process?

 

If they are die polishing lines then the coin is as struck.
Photos or BS.
This hobby is dependent on a continuous education. If you don't know how coins are made and struck then you will not understand what you are looking at.

 

I think grocery stores and car washes should be non-profit. Come to think of it, maybe we should include Subway, Dominos, Buffalo Wild Wings and Jersey Mike's to that list.

 

I was hoping for gas stations.

 

I think most restaurants are going to end up this year with no profit.

Oh, non-profit. My bad.

 

Non-profit? Do you work for free?

 

If grading companies were non profit the result would be an abomination. Any motivation or desire to get it right is entirely eliminated in a non profit environment.... I would agree there are problems that have arisen, but we have to use our influence as a customer base to effect any real change.

 

I've gotta take exception to this. People can be motivated by what they're doing, independent of profits, and people in a for-profit environment can still get it wrong.

Yeah, "let's all work together for the common good, money doesn't matter" is a fairy tale. Unfortunately, so is "when your actions have dollar-and-cent repercussions, you learn to do the right thing."

 

Let me see if I got this right: An opinion of an opinion, correct?

 

Non profit ? your kidding me right ? I think PMG has a clause in there contract
that anyone that works for the company can't be involved in collecting but
I am sure some have a small stash hidden under a tree...LOL

 

Churches are non profit. But TPG's?

 

No but I volunteer for free and I love it

 

I believe that most collectors have some kind of understanding of the minting process-- The more you love it --the more you learn---some people think that just because they been collecting for years makes them a expert!

 

Scratches on the coin or holder?

Non profit grading service (NPGS)
That's when you DIY in a 2x2 paper or plastic wrap your choice....
IF not for profit, you wouldn't have any grading services.

 

Actually I photo coins, when the coin is unforgiving you'll never see the photo.
You are missing part of the education if you think you saw a wiped or cleaned surface on a graded 69. I don't believe it.
Photos or it didn't happen.

 

TPG as a non profit is just a plain old head slapper. I don't even know where to begin.

What I find to be an abomination is the fact that we have to pay for a basic necessity of life, water. Will the powers that be somehow figure a way to charge us for air next?
