Wow, their computer systems and monitors are ancient.
Don't forget that the video is quite old. |

@erckle The graders don't hold the coin long enough for them to do any damage, and their hands would be clean enough as to prevent your 'black marks'. Hope you will reconsider banning certified coins from your purchase list. (then again, it always means more for me  ) Edited by noahs-numismatics

i already have a slabbed coin with a finger print on it, I presumed it was not visible when graded and slabbed. and take all the slabs you like, I could save you some money and just handle my coins and sell them to ya a bit cheaper without the slab add 35% for untouched coins. ;)

The print could have been there and not visible yet when graded, or be reflected in the grade. Who graded it out of curiosity

i only have pcgs slabs so far, they seem to be the most popular type in this forum.
it just doesn't seem right to me that I will go to great lengths to not touch the better coins with bare hands, and if I want it graded its going to be touched and then slabbed.

True, but there are people out there who dont care what the coin looks like if it is certified in a certain grade by a TPG. |

Theres a chance the coins been touched anyway before it ever got to them or you. Honestly Id say youre probably being overly cautious which I understand wanting to protect your coins. If your hands are clean and stay on the edge itll be fine. Theres a lot of real old coins in real high grades that have been touched countless times on the edges and you cant tell at all |

So what happens when someone spontaneously sneezes on the coin they are grading?

Hahaha, lets hope that doesn't happen!
(I doubt they let the graders come in if they are sick, but you never know ;)

I'd go for JP Martin's video on grading US mint state coins, the ANA library has copies for check out if you are a member. You can find copies on ebay like this one from JT Stanton's shop, [eBayItem]380485689878[/eBayItem] (I'm in no way endorsing this dealer, but I've purchased from them previously with no issues). It's still available on VHS as well usually pretty cheap on ebay. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
