Well that is not bad. It looks clearly as a MS70 to me.

Zip Lock with cardboard backing and hand written labels. Hum?
Re: Coin Grading Isn't An Exact Science
Why cardboard? That adds expense.

Doesn't contain PVC, and, in your case, that's something that you desperately need! :lol:zakota wrote:Why cardboard? That adds expense.

Re: Coin Grading Isn't An Exact Science
Well I have the assembly line figured out now, I will receive, grade and bag, send them to TPGSadman to slip in the cardboard coin scratchers, then off to Isaiah with his great script, Then to regandon for quality control to make sure I did not undergrade the coin and shipment back to the owner. TKGC is in it's early stages ;) One matter we have to figure out what to charge per coin, $100 or $150 per coin for grading? Maybe like this, $100 for coin grades MS-PR 64-68, $150 for coin grades from MS-PR 69-73. Like the idea?

Re: Coin Grading Isn't An Exact Science
$150? :o That's it? WCG charges $50 per coin, with a minimum submission of 100 coins, so your a full $4850 short of the most expensive coin grading dervice on earth. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! :lol:zakota wrote:Well I have the assembly line figured out now, I will receive, grade and bag, send them to TPGSadman to slip in the cardboard coin scratchers, then off to Isaiah with his great script, Then to regandon for quality control to make sure I did not undergrade the coin and shipment back to the owner.

Thanks for the compliments about the great script, though! :lol:

Re: Coin Grading Isn't An Exact Science
I also want the duty of buying the coins to grade, and we can hold a monthly contest on who can buy and over grade the most cleaned coin or ugly coin :D We can get cleaned ocins cheaper thus more profit. :lol:
Re: Coin Grading Isn't An Exact Science
Great! The way I see it, ALL cleaned AG or lower coins are MS 70, because their shiny.TPGSadmin wrote:I also want the duty of buying the coins to grade, and we can hold a monthly contest on who can buy and over grade the most cleaned coin or ugly coin :D We can get cleaned ocins cheaper thus more profit. :lol:

Re: Coin Grading Isn't An Exact Science
We will only take clear photo's of the coins. We will instead have cloudy bags. So cloudy bags with perfect photo's, no strike that cloudy bags with scans only :lol:
