<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2621394, member: 71723&quot;]There are other factors at work that change the calculations, too. We are now in a world, for better or worse, where the vast majority of coins being graded by PCGS and NGC are bulk submissions of modern coins headed for cable TV sellers. That takes the grading rate way up. Same type coin over and over, and the brain locks into just grading them against one another.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have this romanticized notion that a grader&#039;s workday shapes up like 40 of those 20 coin boxes like Charles did to get to the 800 number, but it&#039;s not like that at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, graders never know the identity of a submitter, but they might INFER how important a client is by the type of material and who else is grading with them. It&#039;s a little hard to hide a major important collection being slabbed in preparation for a big auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
