Im letzten Jahresbericht von PCGS findet man dazu folgendes:Mal ehrlich, wenn ich mich recht erinnere sitzen bei PCGS weniger als 10 Grader welche pro Münze 1 min. Zeit haben, zur Beurteilung, slabben und Verwalten machen natürlich andere.
As of June 30, 2013, we employed 22 experts who have an average of 29 years of experience in the collectible coin market.
Und zur Vorgehensweise:
Our authentication and grading of coins involves an exacting and standardized process. We receive coins from dealers and collectors and remove all packaging that identi es the submitter in any way. We then enter information regarding each coin into our proprietary computerized inventory system, which tracks the coin at every stage of our authentication and grading process. Generally, our process requires that two of our experts evaluate each coin independently, and no authenticity opinion
is issued and no quality grade is assigned unless their opinions with respect to the authenticity and quality grade independently assigned by each of them are the same. In some cases, depending on the type of coin being authenticated and graded or on the results of the initial review process, we involve a third expert to make the nal determinations of authenticity and grade. e coin, the determination of authenticity and its grade are then veri ed by one of our senior experts, who has the authority to resubmit
the coin for further review if he or she deems it to be necessary. Only after this process is complete is the coin reunited with its identifying paperwork, thus keeping the authentication and grading process from being in uenced by the identity of the owner and the history of the coin.
