So for moderns, where the grade is almost binary, it is probably much less. Early U.S. coins where there numerous factors to consider probably take more time. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 08/29/2017 8:55 pm Well, guys, all this discussion is quite fascinating. But whatever the merits and accuracy of the system which assigns MS69 or MS70 grades to ASEs, ultimately the system is driven by the market value of one vs the other, in other words, by you the collectors. If you don't like it, you don't need to use it. You can collect ASEs and do your own grading-satisfy yourself. You can be a satisfied collector and an expert numismatist without ever using or getting graded coins. If this whole thing is making your collecting not fun anymore, start collecting/doing something else that is fun. Report this Post to the Staff

The average times are guesstimates based off of a work day and the volume they report for coins graded. Averages also mean some are faster and some are slower. I think the best way for anyone to look at it is to apply it to their own job. Some tasks we get we know what to do immediately, others take a few seconds and some are hard to figure out. Coins are no different as it's their job to grade them and times will vary. Report this Post to the Staff

I am still new to buying graded coins and have only bought Eisenhower dollars. My personal experience is limited, so most of my knowledge comes from what I have read on CC and this thread has added to that knowledge.
