<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3607313, member: 27832&quot;]What sorts of controls and audits are in place to prevent:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Routing a &quot;special&quot; submission to a pre-selected, pre-informed set of graders</p><p><br /></p><p>2) &quot;Mentioning&quot; in a morning meeting that a particular few coins are coming through, and that &quot;there&#039;s a lot riding&quot; on the decisions made for those coins</p><p><br /></p><p>3) During a discussion between a finalizer and graders where there&#039;s a &quot;disagreement&quot;, having someone bring up some &quot;relevant mitigating factors&quot; involving who submitted the coin</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying that any of these things are happening. I don&#039;t move in those circles, and I generally don&#039;t submit coins <i>or</i> buy slabbed coins, so I have no personal anecdotes. But I <i>have</i> been working lately in a heavily regulated and audited industry, where blinded processes are a very big deal, and we&#039;re taught to think about these sorts of things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
