PCGS will announce that they will buy any PCGS graded coin at a published buy price. With all of the time and effort spent on developing the Price Guide, PCGS knows coin values and pricing trends better than anyone. Coins will be sold though a network of dealers, and perhaps directly to Collectors Club members based on Want Lists. PCGS will receive a deluge of coins from other TPGs because collectors will want the instant liquidity.

Submit now or after March 26? It does not matter, PCGS will be as strict as ever, since they will be buying coins in their holders.

<< Now that they have the markety cornered, a new 100-point grading scale- codename: nosheldon >>

I already guessed the 100 point grading scale earlier in this thread and HRH responded "never" in this same thread so it's a dead issue.

I just crossed over lots of my coins to PCGS holders. With my luck, PCGS will have redesigned their coin holders.

So, do we now wait for the news, and not submit anything until then?

Let us consider the thinking of top management :

1. The change will be something to increase the already high prestige of PCGS

2. The change will increase business , revenue stream and profits of PCGS.

3. The change will, in all probability, meet with great and positive reaction from
collectors and dealers.

4. The change will be unexpected, amazing and remarkable.

Now, with these hints, you should all be able to come up with the right solution.

Ummm.... a slab with a special chemically treated insert that keeps copper from turning brown and keeps milk spots from forming on modern silver. Or a permanent on-line photograph of each newly slabbed coin that anyone could access by looking up the certificate number so as to deter counterfieting and doctoring. Or a special analytical technique for toned coins to guarantee their relative originality.

Or, maybe, it is the i-Slab�, a slabbed coin that has a built in touch screen on the slab that connects to the internet so we can cruise the PCGS forums and look up stuff on coinfacts anywhere while examining our slabbed coins at the same time. Or maybe a slab with a jetpack.... yeah, that's it!

Whatever it is, you can bet the farm that it will cost you more.

Something that shows when the holder/coin has been tampered with.

HRH is talking flipping a switch. As big as grading and slabbing coins was. We're having fun with this but a lot of us are thinking small.

I don't think PCGS will position this as simply something great for their business. Although it might be, the emphasis has to be on improving coin collecting...security, confidence, enjoyment, protecting investment.

What's really eating at us?

1) Counterfeits. Something needs to be done about runaway counterfeiting in China. Clearly the Chinese gov't isn't interested in stopping it.
2) Coin doctors. Screwing with coins and screwing collectors has to stop.
3) Grading standards and objectivity. Can this be improved?

My guess is that it has to do with one of these issues.

Actually, I'm quite confident it won't cost me anything more. (except perhaps to the extent of extending the great slab/numerical grading bubble of the numismatic market.)
