<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treehugger, post: 1212171, member: 28451&quot;]I was told by a coin dealer in my area, whom I believe, the average NGC grader does about 800 coins a day. That is about 1 coin every half minute. If that is indeed the case, it would seem things would sometimes fall through the cracks. even though these people are pros. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have also read they do their grading without a loupe. That may account for some of the flaws mentioned. I have had NGC 69-graded ASEs with the same issues, but sold them when spot silver was higher because I didn&#039;t like the flaws. I have also had 69-graded ASEs with milk spots, which I returned immediately, as I don&#039;t like them at all. I know some will say, &quot;Hey, it&#039;s bullion; who cares?&quot; Well; to me, it makes a difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have learned it is usually better to buy coins in person, if at all possible and don&#039;t forget the magnifier.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the coin grading structure we have today is definitely a positive in many ways, but it is not the be all and end all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
