<p>[QUOTE=&quot;definer, post: 1912320, member: 39713&quot;]This is the same class I attended last year at one of the Whitman shows in Baltimore. What struck me was the discussion around the number of coins graded per day. He said (in my class and, evidently, repeated in LD&#039;s class) that he averages &quot;600 or so&quot; coins a day. That means (assuming an 8 hour day), he grades 75/hour. It also means he spends less than a minute looking at each coin. I know in the class he gave us about 45 seconds to look at the coin and make our grade assignment.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see how you can get into a rhythm and get faster but assigning the difference between an MS 69 and MS 70 (or even an MS64/65) in less than a minute really makes me question the accuracy. If he only misses 1% that means 6 coins per day are given&nbsp; incorrect grades multiplied by the number of active graders working there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I took the class, my purchase of graded coins has dropped way off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
