[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 556952, member: 66"]Every time this video is brought up people make comments about no gloves. They don't use gloves because it has been found that coins get dropped considerably more often when they wear gloves. If the third grader (love that term) is the world class grader, and he looks at the coin when the other two can't agree, What "class" are the other two graders? Actually that is probably about right and might even be a little low. A few years ago they were advertising for graders and the salary mentioned was "up to 250K." A few things to consider. (and this will get scary as far as fatigue goes) Now since every coin has to be graded twice that is 200,000 gradings a month. If there are an average of 24 working days a month that is 8,333 gradings a day. If there are ten graders that is 834 gradings per day per grader. If they work a 9 hr day wiith an hr for lunch and breaks that is 104 gradings per hr, 1.7 gradings per minute, or one grading ever 34 seconds day in day out. But there is something else to consider. That was 100,000 coins GRADED per month. That doesn't include all the coins that have to be examined but which don't grade. So that means even more coins have to be examined per hour.[/QUOTE]
