<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan1878, post: 556178, member: 17869&quot;]Interesting..</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve heard lots of advice about using gloves to handle coins...but on this video nary a glove in sight.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The video relates that at least two graders handle every coin with perhaps a third if a tie breaker is needed. That seems to be a lot of coin handling without gloves. </p><p>Every once in awhile, someone is bound to fumble and grip something other than an edge. As well, once the coin is graded, it goes into a holder, which again necessitates handling of the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, if a third grader is needed to break a tie, they describe this person as a &quot;world class grader&quot;. What criteria are is used to meet this standard? My thoughts are that many of the real &quot;world class graders&quot; are successful coin dealers and/or consigners who are not employed by PCGS because their businesses are more lucrative than being a hired hand at PCGS.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone else have any thoughts on this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
