Coin Grader Salary

Thank you BIO, but are we not splitting hairs here, one who grades can not do this or that and an attributor, who also works for a TPG'R and basically does the same thing, attribute a coin and/or grade a coin can do the things others can not!If that is what you mean when you state "it is an extra service separate from normal grading submissions the purpose is for expert die variety attribution. Because of that, I would imagine they see a significantly smaller number of coins than the regular graders. Rick Snow is another Sig Series attributor." I feel an extra service or not, they are working for a TPG'R and no matter how many coins"they see" it is all apples.

I do not see that, in you own words, the fact they see a smaller # of coins they would be able to have more "play" in their job, I mean any one you mentioned could have people send in coins for them selves, not an accusation, just a thought,Where other companies have more than one person "checking the to be slabbed coins" and attribute/grade those coins and, to me this would be a conflict of interest, no....AGAIN I am not accusing any one of anything, just dealing with the words you have chosen to use, you do not agree it could lead to a problem, and I still feel what some would have to do should be considered the same for all. Just my opinion.....


I again do not mean any disrespect, but this is all to similar and sounds like splitting hairs....

It's still a serious conflict of interest. Sometimes the brunt of the dollars is in the attribution, not the grade. Say there's only 4 or 5 of a variety known to exist and the so-called "outside consultant" owns two of them? Declaring yours valid would hit him in his wallet. If someone can affect the value of a coin sent in, they are on the inside, irregardless of any label you slap on him.

Can somebody give me a link to that 1972 silver quarter, thank you.

Oddly enough and as usual, the original question just slowly wandered into another world. I don't think your original question ever did get answered since it's now obvious no one here knows for sure.
As I said there are so many of these grading services popping up and I'm sure the amount anyone in any of them are paid is excessively various as it is with a grocery store.
Although it was noted not all are completely reputable or even considered acceptable, that is not the question. How much is person paid that works at one is just to various a question. And too it sure would be interesting if anyone really did know this. But even if salaries are known, would you apply for that job?

To answer your question Carl, Yes I would.

Indeed....I'd rather be taring a roof in August. LOL

Not sure how that effects a person making possilby hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I know it would really get to me in no time. To be a grader for me would have one really, really bad feature. Your sitting there and your handed a MS grade 1922 Plain and told to grade it but don't forget you can't keep it. Even worse a 1894S Liberty Head Dime about MS something and again, you can't keep it. If coins like that kept coming up in front of me, regardless of salary, I think I be running out of the place yelling or something.
