I would love to grade modern proof error coins such as the PMM, and the recent spiked head proof error die cracks. They have been reported in Coneca, and Numismatic News. When do I start, and how much is the pay?

 

Thanks,

Pat McNulty

Send in your information... you never know what might happen

[Leothelion]

What an opportunity! The real question is, who will be the next grader (or person) to leave (desert) the other side?

 

Leo

[michael]

i would be interested very much so but only for pre 1954 coinage

 

so that leaves me out

I'm with Michael. hey Michael. Lets start our own!

Experience in grading modern era coins is required.

 

Interesting. Are modern coins becoming that big of a part of NGC's business that they need another grader in the modern area or is it just that NGC wants a regular grader with a little knowledge of moderns?

 

 

Salary is commensurate with experience with benefits and opportunity for advancement.

 

Opportunity for advancement? What does that mean? After a while you're not stuck grading pocket change and you're allowed to grade real coins?

Greg, is that the proper form for an Ambassador to take?

It will be cool if one of the board members gets to get one of these jobs.

Hey, I would do it but I don't think I can live on $2 an hour.

 

Unfortunately, I would go in with a strong head along the lines of the way I grade coins, not how others would prefer me to grade, although I would most likely learn a great deal but weak strikes and distracting marks in the focal areas of coins do not belong in 65 and up mint state grades.

Would this person, if employed by NGC, be forbidded from buying and selling coins???

Not if your................!!! I couldn't say it.

[coinman1794]

I could say it...but I wont!

[Dermott]

Someone already has.

 

Starting Sept 3rd, I'll be joining NGC/NCS through the internship program and from there, we'll see what happens.

 

Like I said... send in your info, you never know what might happen.

[EVillageProwler]

Good luck, Matt, with your internship. Being a professional grader, I believe, is a very tough job. It combines immense technical skill with a knack for handling the repitious.

[Dermott]

I go through 5000 count circulated Wheat bags for fun... does that say anything?

[EVillageProwler]

Honestly, it says much for your perseverance. But, grading avg circ coins is much easier than grading higher-end MS and PF coins because the qualitative difference between grade jumps is much tighter at that level.

 

EVP

 

[Leothelion]

And now back to that other off topic subject.

 

Wouldn't it be great if all MS65 graded coins had at least one thing in common.

And MS66 graded coins had two. MS67...........3?

 

Leo

[Dermott]

Oh yes, I'm aware... especially in the 65+ range.

 

I'm looking forward to the challenge and hope to learn as mucha s possible and find a niche with NGC that I can fill.

 

Should be fun though!

[currentcoin]

You mean to say that you pay to grade coins ?

 

All this time I've been doing it for fun .

 

Florida weather to boot !

Ever consider doing some sort of grading test at one of the major shows (Long Beach?)? I'm sure many of us would like be interested in seeing if we had what it takes to grade at NGC.

[Oldtrader3]

Building off what Gregg said (I can't believe that I said that!), it might be a interesting test of potential candidates, despite their credentials, to give a comprehensive grading test to prospective graders (if you don't already). Lot's of very experienced collectors and pro's in this industry can not grade Peace Dollars, inclused gold, Buffalo Nickels, circulated Seated or early copper.

Would you accept a resume from a collector that has knowledge learned in the hobby with respect to grading. What kind of training program to you offer? As a grader are you still able to maintain your collections and continue in the hobby? Thanks,
