This topic came up on another forum, and a couple of us would like some answers about the NGC grading procedures.

 

1. Are coins transported through the grading & processing area in flips or on trays?

 

2. Do the graders wear cotton gloves?

 

3. Do graders usually work with other graders of the same skill level?

 

Thanks!

 

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

1. Are coins transported through the grading & processing area in flips or on trays?

 

Coins are in flips and in boxes as they are transported through the grading & processing area. You can see exactly what this looks like in the video on the following page: Grading Process

 

2. Do the graders wear cotton gloves?

 

No, our graders do not wear gloves because, in their experience, wearing gloves makes it more difficult to securely handle the coins.

 

3. Do graders usually work with other graders of the same skill level?

 

Yes, every coin is graded by at least two professional numismatists.
