CoinWeek: We Take the PCGS Grading Challenge! - 4K Video

At the 2016 American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money in Anaheim, California, CoinWeek editor Charles Morgan met with CoinFacts founder and former PCGS President Ron Guth to take the PCGS Grading Challenge.
Ron gave Charles 30 minutes to review 20 classic and modern U.S. coins and render an opinion.
From scarce date Seated Liberty quarters to Proof Jefferson nickels and everything in between, the PCGS Grading Challenge will put any numismatist's knowledge of coin grading to the test.
In this video, you will follow along with Charles as takes on each of the test's 20 coins. Our macro lens captures each coin in beautiful detail.
Follow along with Charles or compete against him by making a tally of your own grades.
After Charles is done, Ron Guth goes over each coin and provides viewers with the grades that PCGS' world class graders gave.
Agree or disagree, this video is great fun and you will learn something about how to grade coins.

They did a test where they sent the same coin to every major grading company and the results were between AU-58 to MS-64 if that tells you anything.

[@garthdonovan5373]

Yes mate and They don’t wear gloves

[@screwthenet]

Tells us the guy over graded in this vid. lol

[@shannonhood9674]

I would like to sale it

[@danielhughes396]

*sell

[@markcooper7744]

Well done! We did a grading challenge at our club meeting. We put a timer on to simulate how long a TPG looks at a coin. After time is up you hand the coin on and grade the next one. Folks had fun and it got many interested in learning more about grading.

[@Maxemillion23]

Thank you coin week for brining the best coin content to KZbin!

[@coinweek]

Thanks for watching and happy collecting!

[@donaldcarter5043]

This was a very good video to understand how close you can get to the pros. Thanks

[@TheFishingNomad]

The biggest take away from this video is how much subjectivity there is in grading. On almost all the coins that the grade differed, they were both able to justify their grade and I see no problem with either of their grades.

[@joshuaperry4681]

This has great insight into the pcgs grader mind.... Sometimes it's good to know there can be disagreement in the grading room ....thank you for the effort that goes into your KZbin and podcasts!

[@coinweek]

Thanks, Joshua. Author Allan Schein joins me next week in the CoinWeek Podcast. Next up: Cool Currency 2016 Episode 3!

[@fathiabdi8459]

thanks

[@shawnangie1]

Great video, Chuck. More like this, please!

[@kitrichardson5573]

You called it a “ 65 red, we call it a 66 red (Indianhead 1902 Penny), minor difference. The coin is worth over twice as much money in 66. It makes you think that a lot of this is just smoke and mirrors

[@samcowell5465]

Kit Richardson it is. Did you hear about the experiment where they sent the same to coin to different grading services and got an au55 up to ms64

[@samcowell5465]

Kit Richardson that's why ancients are better imo

[@everettwhite9874]

Sam Cowell Reports like that about such a wide range of scores makes me feel 😳

[@curseoftheegglady]

Results @18:05

[@slicksilver9441]

Well done Charles. You were very consistent.

[@kyhoang7785]

I'm a new coin collector. Im learning a good experience from your video that helping me to get into the real deal. Thanks you very much and I will look see more video from you. Thanks you.

[@andrew9414]

good video. i took the test and was 14 for 20 , not off by much but i believe lighting does factor, not to mention lousey video. I also saw marks that lead me to believe some cleaning of those coins might have occured. I have no experience with gold coins so i am really not upset with my results. More videos like these would be great for your average collector. Thanks

[@lionofjudea4146]

I wish there was more coin content out here, but we know people won't even read a book anymore. Thanks for doing this! (*For me, I think your camera was good enough to make me judge/grade all the coins lower than you did.) I'd like to see a video on the garbage wtc coins, vs the real collectors coins (*Flag Waving Backed PCGS Slabs w/ *usually Gem Uncirc/MS 69/MS69 1/14440 /or> MS69 Barcoded Population Coin Specific #'d Silver Eagles) (All the eagles, seem to be going for between 100$ and as high as 900$ with a median of 200 / 350 $) What are your thoughts?

[@doctorxring]

Cool video. You did good man. I'm with you, I collect world coins now, but used to go through roll after roll when I was kid. I drove the tellers nuts but they put up with me.

[@coinweek]

Thanks for the feedback. We are trying to set up a second round with world coins!

[@jad1175]

Charles: One of your great videos. A ton of information. I can't imagine working forty hours a week at this. It looks very intense. I assume it does get easier in time. Do you know how long of a time they work before they get a break? Thanks again John

[@coinweek]

They work full day shifts with lunch breaks. But they have camaraderie. I'm going to try to do one of these videos with World Coins to see if I can do better in that genre of coins.

[@gerrybeauchamp4120]

If I sent them in they would all be details, questionable color, cleaned, altered surfaces, etc!

[@Andrux0821]

Lol, big facts

[@mcdouche2]

I would have stolen the whole box and submitted the coins back to PCGS to see how I fared.

[@SacagaweaCoin]

PCGS is tops when it comes to protecting and grading your collection They also work with some great renowned and honest professionals in the business

[@antiquarian1773]

sounds like grading is more of ones opinion. I wonder if you take 10 pcgs graders and tell them to grade the same coins. lets see how the results will vary.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Great vid! Thanks so much!

[@SilverGator]

This was really cool, you did way better than I would have. lol I subbed looking forward to your other videos.

[@real_Leo_Chang]

There is no correct grade as grading any coin is subjective. As long as you can back up the grade with your reasoning

[@everettwhite9874]

Leo Chang Hmm. I agree grading coins is subjective, unless, however, the senior grader overrides your subjective opinion. Three different graders look at coin submissions, if the first two graders have different scores a third coin grader reviews the coin. I think that process was shown in a PCGS coin grading video.

[@therrienmichael08]

@@everettwhite9874 I did not know PCGS submissions are looked at by 3 graders.

[@harrynegron1221]

NICE AND ENJOYABLE COIN COLLECTING 😉💖I LOVED

[@goldcicvibefel9966]

Learned alot here. I was close on most. 🐥

[@joedipietro3443]

Charles how about the unjust silver premiums how about addressing this problem of price gouging.

[@ressikanflute]

You scored 35 based on the points criteria you used in the NGC test vs the other graders.

[@karolkoman8053]

can you say something about a £ 1 discovery of neanderthal skull in gibraltar tail

[@richrocco5437]

thank you for the lesson good job on the test Rich Rocco

[@ynumismetalscollector4370]

Verey cool video! I guess you did a good job!

[@TheCoinCouch2016]

This was a great idea for a video CoinWeek, nice job grading Charles! :) cc.

[@numanuma20]

The Coin Couch Is there a coin grading company in Australia?

[@MrSammo1]

Very good!

[@coinsusa]

25:43 he says 1863 instead of 1963

[@MrRant247]

YOU'RE FIRED!

[@coreymerrill3257]

Do you get to keep the coins if you pass the test?

[@charylhoriguchi825]

How can I check my 1921 and 1922 one dollar coin by PCGS?

[@jrduke45]

This was a good video! Thanks! Keep em coming!

[@abdulfatahu5700]

Yes

[@dawnthompson5432]

I know that PCGS is the number one coin graders but can I go to a bank or should I wait for the next Central State numismatic coin show or would it be even worth it to take them to a coin dealer

[@dawnthompson5432]

Can you show me the new patterns of all the quarters I want to make a collection of all the quarters with details on the back I would like to know how many designs are there

[@johngriffiths3952]

How the Fvck did that Franklin get a 65 being loaded with finger prints like Mike and the gang fought over it, shit was ugly.

[@Cisco8484]

Where did you get that German loupe?

[@coinweek]

Wizard has it. Also Safe.

[@penniesshillings]

I loved this... I did badly though!

[@TheDantastic23]

Grate job.

[@victoriaajang3272]

Thank you

[@jeffw1267]

I think PCGS market-grades Trade Dollars too much. They're only calling that one a 64 because the average Trade Dollar is so baggy. I ended up buying an NGC MS62 for that reason. I'll bet if I sent it to PCGS I'd easily get a 63.

[@anthonyhui1322]

Wonderful coins!

[@brandonrideordie6684]

You did pretty good brother I was right there with you got 2 more than you lol keep up the great vids.👍

[@Metusalem979]

23:35 I sincerely think it’s a scam to grade F-12 because of tone. If it’s VG with good eye appeal it should be Choice VF

[@Metusalem979]

Choice VG

[@benzreyes1359]

How can I know where can my coins authenticate?

[@qiandavy8208]

PCGS has good job in China🤙🏼

[@_j00s_]

Thus far our grades to each of these coins are very similar as i am doing it through my phone. BUT COME ON BRO i know its a subjective thing, but that 1951 frank was no where near the grade you gave it.. lol

[@_j00s_]

I was proven wrong, good call my friend!!

[@gilbertmcdonald4279]

do you have to pay to get coins graded and wher to get graded at

[@coinweek]

Go to the PCGS website to learn more

[@raulmillan8309]

o como puedo sertificar mis monedas

[@jaanujaanusyed832]

I need to sale my coins bro

[@j.reynolds3089]

You're too generous.

[@donmonson7214]

you could use darts on the coins above ms 63 and be correct----the challange is in the vf to au of course the money is not here---there has to a reasoning why a coin is ms 65 and not ms66 and and be articulated as to why. we as the c0nsumer are constantly ripped of by not having real evidence as to grade---it is only ---because i say so----facial recognition has to come in here and fix all this....

[@pakchoiri783]

The ancient money has historical value and the evidence of human culture is in addition to the nominal value and the value of liquidity at that time. But ancient money has a sale value or auction for collectors of ancient currencies of gbog, kepeng, Dinar and Dirham all have advantages for a country when using a gold coin or gold, silver and seloko, because the money-it proves to have a long shelf, the exchange rate between countries or nations is not mutually harmful, the nominal value remains stable not ups and downs so good for the country's economy as a reliable means of exchange and if burned the value of metal is still salable this is the perception of tiredness in antiquity.Compared Paper money easily damaged if burned out there is no residual to restore assets or modal.masing each there kelbihan and deficiencies, heavy coins and the amount many need large conveyance, simple and easy paper money

[@pakchoiri783]

Uang kuno mempunyai nilai sejarah dan bukti budaya manusia itu ada di samping mempunya nilai nominal dan nilai likwiditas pada masa itu.akan tetapi uang kuno memiliki nilai jual atau lelang bagi Kolector mata uang kuno sejenis gbog,kepeng,Dinar,dan Dirham ini semua mempunyai keunggulan bagi sebuah negara apabila menggunakan uang logam muliya atau emas,perak dan seloko ,karena uang -uang tersebut terbukti mampunyai daya simpan lama ,kedua nilai tukar antar negara atau bangsa tidak saling merugikan, nilai nominal tetap stabil tidak naik turun sehingga bagus bagi perekonomian negara sebagai alat tukar yang handal dan apabila terbakar nilai logam masih laku inilah kehibatan peradapan di jaman dahulu.Di bandingkan Uang kertas mudah rusak apabila terbakar habis tidak ada sisa untuk mengembalikan aset atau modal.masing masing ada kelbihan dan kekurangannya,uang logam berat dan jumlahnya banyak butuh alat angkut yang besar, uang kertas sederhana dan mudah

Hello, I have a coin quarter doller in 1983

[@therrienmichael08]

I saw a video on 82 - 83 quarters as suggested because of the low mintage years.

yo coleccionó monedas de un centavo de Canadá y de lo Estados Unido de América que Quiero vender

[@screwthenet]

Damn...this guy was kinda overly liberal with his grading. Lot of those coins were not gem, near gem or just under. *smfh *

[@bigtd7399]

the people now days. dont understand the true story of coins. no marks .man. people want to much.

[@johnLA1961]

Coin grading is so arbitrary.

[@christianautor2772]

you should watch BlueRidgeSilverHound's video on coin grading if you think that coin grading is arbitrary
