[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 9341, member: 824"]I remember years ago, my dad told me never buy a car built on a Monday or Friday. His theory (because he seen it first hand) was that the giys were too hung over from the weekend on Monday, and on Friday, they are itching to get out for the weekend. He was serious and would look up the date when the car was made before he would buy. He never had serious trouble with cars, so how could I argue...especially since he was in the auto business. Now follow me on this logic...let's say you are grading on a Friday afternoon before Memorial Day weekend, are you likely to take the same, less or more time in your grading responsibilities? I would tend to believe, they would want to do it faster (all things being equal, espeically if you want to beat California traffic) and your coin might get a break...or not? After reading the previous posts, I remember my Dad's wisdom of buying a GM car from many years ago, and since PCGS is almost 90 days behind for economy service, I was just wondering how I would feel sitting at a desk on a Friday afternoon looking a 100's of coinsper day for certification... Reading the above posts got me thinking since profession grading is still subjective, and not objective as we all would want.[/QUOTE]
