To begin with 3 graders and a finalizer look at every coin graded by NGC. And they all 4 have to agree on that grade. At PCGS there 2 graders and a finalizer who grade every coin, and they too have to agree on the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>So there is no individual at either company that is having any kind of an impact at all the grades being assigned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly they are not hiring cheap labor. Graders at NGC and PCGS start at 6 figures and go up from there. Some of them make $250k a year, or more. Not exactly what you call cheap labor.</p><p><br /></p><p>The slab label you mentioned has nothing to do with the graders. The slab labels are made and placed in the slab much lower level employees. Yes they made a mistake, but when you&#039;re talking about over 5,000 slab labels being inserted each and every work day, yeah sure you&#039;re gonna have a few mistakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>And last but not least, none of the graders know who submits any of the coins. The idea of favoritism is not even possible.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And there is no top 4, there is only a top 2. The very concept of the top 4 disappeared several years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
