What do they pay? I have no clue. I wonder if employees--especially graders--must sign a non-disclosure agreement.

It would be fun for a few days. But I know I could not endure the steady pace of coins coming at me hour after hour, day after day.

Imagine the diversity of the stuff you'd see--pristine Peace dollars, lustrous '39 Canada dollars, road rash/parking lot '97 memorial cents... |

This sounds sounds like it's worth trying.
This is a YN dream.

Dunno about at PCGS but at NGC you request your salary on your application.

My eyes would probably blow up.
Just had cataract operations.
I have a 24 inch monitor as a peripheral off my laptop just so I can now see things reasonably well.
Coin graders at the coal face don't have that luxury.

I think it would become like working on a fast moving conveyor belt similar to when Lucille Ball was inspecting pieces of candy on the 'I Love Lucy' show in the 60s. It would become too routine, boring and full of pressure since management would require quotas for graders to meet for completed coins per hour or day: almost like a sales job but with little social interactions.
It does not seem like the kind of job where you wake up in the morning and dream of going to.

I would try, but most likely I will not meet the requirements and I do not live in the states.

Too bad people that work there can't personally buy or sell coins, afaik, as there are some on here with a very good eye, but personality, and egos would preclude most collectors,including myself, inability to quit collecting long enough, to be subjectively unbiased enough to give an honest answer to ALL submitters. The only way I could do it , is if I NEVER COLLECTED coins in the first place..and that ship has sailed, a LONG time ago, but maybe, I should have used my ebay acct bubbiesmeemaw, and just stuck with that name,so NOT to confuse anyone between my accts, but I'm gone! |
