I’m assuming they have a way they remove any oils from their hands before touching the coins... at least I hope they do Also I learned nothing from this 44 second video so what was the point ??
Do they actually not wear gloves while grading.? Makes me hesitant about sending in proof coins for grading if they are just going to grab them with their bare hands...
You would think NGC would know what they were doing. But I sent them a 1942 war nickel That was tested at 66% silver and lower ratings of the other metals plus it had other metals Inc. with it. NGC did a metal test which also shows double silver content and off metal but they still sent it back to me as a damaged coin. Anybody with any true common sense would know that there was an A coinage act in 1942 that was based on the war nickels and the different metals they were allowed to use. You would think NGC would know that before me.. lol
Hello, our error experts have decades of experience in handling off-metal types, and are easily able to distinguish true errors from damaged coins. If you need a better explanation for why your coin wasn't graded, please contact our customer service department.
They have 3, they started with 100, but every time there is a disagreement they have a fight to the death and the survivor decides the final grade of the coin.
Being I am not a trusting person, how do I know that the coin I send to you to get graded will be the exact same coin I get back? What if my coin is worth say $5,000 but you send me back a lesser quality version worth just $300? How would I ever know?
Why don't you guys use gloves? I am not trying to be offensive but really curious. Normally any coin collectors would be shocked to see their rare coins be touched with bare hands. Was this a misconception in the eyes of experts? Is touching it with bare hands okay to some extent and will not kill its value?
Numismatists and coin professionals agree that handling coins by the edges, without gloves greatly reduces the risk of dropping a coin, and is the safest practical method for handling coins. Proper coin handling does not involve touching the surface of the coin.
@@NGCCoin That is absolute BS. Drop the coin?? Perhaps a grader should be a little more careful, gloves or no gloves? Do you know how much grease from lunch gets onto the coins? The coin should never be more than a few inches above a lint free cushioned surface. All of this work should be done in at least a class 1000 cleanroom. I was thinking about sending my OGP Eagle collection in but not if they come back contaminated with grease and salt from fingers to start the oxidation process.
@@StewieGriffin505 yeah I came to comment after seeing the video on the website with the bare hands 😬 even my kids won't touch the coins to look without the gloves and still has to wash hands before that if they lucky enough to get a closer look they know better. And one has special needs. If you look closely even with the fingers on the sides the possibility of oils and stuff still getting on the surfaces are there cause you still have that top and bottom part off your fingers that hang over to the surface if that makes sense.
Is it worth it to get (1) circulated 1995p quarter I found in my pocket change the other day graded? I do collect coins, mostly silver proofs, so i know a beautiful strike when i see it, but I'm definitely a novice when it comes to serious grading. Man did i stare at this thing for at least an hour, though. I can't believe the detail, it stopped me in my tracks. What do i know though, lol? I immediately threw it in a direct fit capsule anyway.
Do the graders in Shanghai wearing gloves when grading?And do the graders in PMG wearing gloves when grading a banknote?I can;t imagine and bear someone touching my collection in bare hands.
I wouldn't recommend anyone sending in their coins to NGC, you pay for them to look for errors which I did in March, didn't get them back until June. Then to find out they didn't check for error's. Have email which they said they made a mistake, SERIOUSLY? Paid over $100.00 to have them look for error's. Then rec'd another message from Julia which she states they did look for error's and didn't find any. I sent in 9 coins and here is one example which I submitted, now NGC said this was not a RPM and also look at the date. Good Grief! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!! Wanted to paste an example of my error coin I submitted on this site but will not let me. Totally disappointed!!!
I've just bought my first NGC graded coin and there are some small dust particles and two small and thin hairs (probably not human hair) inside the slab, one of these small hairs is big enough that it's even visible in the photo on NGC's website but before purchase I thought that it's on the outside of the slab, but no, it's in the inside, and now I see in this video that you guys touching coins with your bare hands, I'm very disappointed. Am I the only one who got dust and hair inside the unopenable coin slab or did this happen to others? By the way I use a camera lens cleaning pump to remove any dust and hair from my coins and from inside the coin capsules before I put them into capsules, and this is a very cheap and effective solution if you can't afford a clean room.
I have an abundance of coins that look shiny-new including shield bright pennies and washington quarters and am wondering about the cost and time of grading. I am as new as the coins , i am following others posts.
I have one piece silver Rare 1 Diham UAE Coin from 1419-1998 in good condition for sale. But it needs to be appraised by the Expert Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. How can the NGC help me? Thanks.
and now we know why PCGS is king when it comes to graded coins. How did this video get past the NGC marketing department? If I was NGC I would be pulling this down asap. Misinformation, poor coin handling, and honestly not a clear representation of how a coin is graded.
Hello, can you indicate what you believe to be misinformation? Other grading companies (including PCGS), coin shops, and professionals all handle coins this way. Coins are only handled by the edges, as demonstrated in the video. Gloves greatly increase the chance of dropping a coin, which is far worse than even accidentally touching the surface of a coin. Again, coin professionals agree that handling coins by the edges, without gloves is the safest way.
I agree with the handling and I’m assuming that they take care to remove oils from hands before handling. However The video was incomplete to say the least and added no knowledge on the process
@@NGCCoin So, because other coin graders mishandle coins it makes it OK for your company to mishandle coins? How about being the first company on the cutting edge and show your employees in at least some type of cleanroom outfit with GLOVES!
@NGC Coin accountability is big when you want people to send you their prized possesions. Being thourough and honest would bring you more business as well, but you guys obviously dont care about the collector or the collections. Sad, untrustworthy, and unprofessional.
I want to ask WHY error coins can get some points for l don't know why l have sent some several CIRCULATION COINS with a little bit scratch and got no points???? Please don't do like this try to SCRAM your customers. To all the coins collecter STOP sending coin to NGC anymore..
Anybody that handles a coin should wear gloves, a hairnet, and a mask. I worked in a semiconductor production facility for years and the human body sheds skin, hair and saliva droplets all over the place. That is why it is called a "cleanroom." This just disgusts me.
I also like to touch coins without gloves...now i've made sure i'm not alone )))))
Great video! Thank you for the info. I would of love to see the coin graders wearing gloves.
Why?
I’m assuming they have a way they remove any oils from their hands before touching the coins... at least I hope they do

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your insight!

Risk of dropping is greater risk of damage than handling on the edges. Most high end coin merchants will not use gloves. Search here and learn why.
@@JDL_2020 No gloves!!! They should be wearing f****ing hazmat suits if they touch my coins!
Cool. Now do one on the NGC grading process...

Pretty incomplete..... For starters, How many different graders look at the coin? What if they disagree?
They have 3, they started with 100, but every time there is a disagreement they have a fight to the death and the survivor decides the final grade of the coin.
Let's call it an NGC grading process trailer :-) But nice!

Take photos like I did and you have proof they did what you say make a small claims court to a judge
Exactly my doubt. I would feel much more comfortable by walk in service where they can grade coins in front of me.
@savapantic8735 maybe if you were really rich they would allow that.
@@francisdaniel3588 It doesn’t matter if you are personally rich or not, it matters if you have a coin of high value ($10k+)…
I know this is 2 years old but I don’t understand how a 44 second video is supposed to show the grading process
