2020年7月23日 · Maybe it is, years ago I was helping a big dealer that had just got in a 1797 half, another dealer was looking at it, and said if it holders, ill take it, so He ran it over to pcgs for the 4 hour show service and low and behold xf45. IMO, paying 200 for 80k coin to make sure it grades like you need it is sensible.

2009年6月19日 · Simple fact is, a lot of previously graded coins would NOT cross at the SAME service today. All of this "Kool Aid" attitude stems from the PCGS Registry rules. A coin will always be the same coin, regardless of the flavor of plastic. If …

2020年8月19日 · Coin grading is the process of determining the grade or condition of a coin in order to determine its value. PCGS is one of the top coin grading services in the United States, providing the standard for coin authenticity. PCGS graders have long been considered the best in the business - setting the bar for finding counterfeits and consistently ...

2023年12月29日 · All the grading companies are engaged in market grading. If the market value of a problem free (enough) coin equates to what coins in their particular holders bring in the marketplace, the coin goes into that holder. CAC just wants that number to be higher than PCGS and the rest. JA told me this himself, and it makes sense to me.

2024年7月29日 · I have seven PCGS coins in my set that were previously in a higher graded NGC slab. My best/worst example of the LSQ grading discrepancies between the two companies is as follows: I purchased a very nice original 1873 quarter graded PCGS AU53. I sent the coin to CAC and the coin failed to sticker.

2025年2月17日 · It simply depends on who is grading the coin that particular day. To begin, some definitions: Striations - lines acquired on a planchet during the planchet making process that are not fully struck out by the dies. These are pre-strike marks and are not considered damage to the coin. Hairlines - lines acquired post-strike due to improper handling.

2014年5月25日 · PCGS 10.2 Transitional type with the older hologram carried over from Generation 9.0 but without the reverse barcode added. PCGS 10.3 - The final version of this generation, barcode both back and front, this hologram carried forward to PCGS 11.0. Also, as pointed out by MsMorrisine, note the change to the clear pronged insert.

2024年6月3日 · Going into a 'Genuine' holder is a good thing, because at least PCGS believes the coin is real rather than a counterfeit. >> In addition to PCGS believing the coin is genuine, the coin qualifies for the PCGS Guarantee: << <i>Genuine Coins All coins encapsulated by PCGS are guaranteed to be Genuine. PCGS will now encapsulate some problem coins ...

2015年12月22日 · The index is most applicable to the dealers that populate the national coin shows, auctions, and run high dollar B&M coin shop operations. I doubt very many of them have ever even looked at the PCGS 3000 or its sub-parts....which doesn't lessen the value of the index. Grey sheet does get the pricing right for 90% or more of the coin market.

2025年1月18日 · PCGS "is the dominant player and their booth was always busy." I believe PCGS was grading at FUN and CACG does not grade at any shows (at least not yet). Not surprising then that PCGS booth was busier. I also don't think John Albanese started CACG to become the dominant player. Legend does sell CACG coins. I have bought one from them.
