How PCGS Grading Service Grades Coins

I was surfing around YouTube today and saw a really good video from the PCGS grading service.  This video walks you through how they grade coins.  The video starts with what they do as soon as they get a coin.  From there the video shows how they anonymously grade the coins and then reunite they with their owners.  Learning how PCGS grading service grades coins is really interesting. I hope that you like the video.

   I’m surprised that they aren’t handling the coins in with gloves. Doesn’t that have the potential to leave skin oil on the surface which could degrade the surface over time? Not even a quick rinse to get rid of the skin oils?

   Boris,

   I am surprised that they don’t wear gloves too. Everything that I hear is that the oil from skin can damage coins.

   Thanks for leaving a comment,
