I too have criticized D.L. Hansen choosing to partake with an EXTRA set (or two) over and above his main set in a given Registry. I've mentioned that concern to one of his daughters.
But your points have nothing to do with the actions that he may be choosing to do now, which is to cross his coins at whatever grade CACG deems as proper. And any downgrades at the level of grades he has WILL be costly, and is something he does not HAVE to do. But apparently he IS doing just that.
The disbelief continues.

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
I understand Hansen’s publicly stated goal is to match Eliasberg in completeness.
He has gone far beyond, and somewhat below, that goal. He has accumulated multiple examples across most all series. He has meanwhile passed on some required coins that have come up.
He subsequently entered the seller’s side, and then a new privately held TGP appeared in which he is said to be a principle.
I accept that one might have a sense his motives are pure and benign. I have seen no concrete explanation though for the above inconsistencies/concerns given his stated goal. Guess the ultimate disposition of his PCGS slabs will provide an additional piece of information about his goals......
I think that the longtime and ongoing disposition of his PCGS slabs provides adequate information about his goals.
So apparently you ignore the possibility that his mind may have changed in the last year or so? That's unfortunate, since that's exactly what seems to have happened.
Oh well.
Steve
ESP is not my strong point. Do you have inside information or are you just speculating?
As I noted earlier above:
1) I heard from a VERY reliable source that D. L. Hansen is paying the FULL amount of fees on the thousands of coins that he might cross to CACG, and
Steve
In related news, Elon Musk pays the full subscription price for his X account.
‘’My question is will all those coins that Hansen has crossed to CACG be removed from the Pcgs registry?”
Does anyone seriously question the ethics of Mr. Hansen to follow the clear rules and regulations of the PCGS Set Registry after he has participated in it for so long and at such a high level?

Change of mind does not explain the motivation in the first instance for the accumulation of multiple (and multiples upon multiples) of readily available examples across a vast range of series. Why run so deep into the registry if the goal is only to match Eliasberg? Hole filling argument really does not hold up either given multiple sets.
You do know that Eliasberg had lots of dupes, right?

Any downgrades may or may not be costly. Ultimately, it depends on how those coins are valued by subsequent collectors.
@winesteven Steve have you seen any Hansen coins in CACG details holders. I think he is crossing them at any straight grade. But on details coins they are staying in the PCGS holders to sell through DLRC. I have no evidence of this but it would make the most sense to leave the details coins in their current straight holders. Probably has no issue with a downgrade but a details holder would be an issue as others would buy and crack out to have regraded.

One observation I would like to share with DLRC, Mr. Hansen, etc., etc.
Nearly every week, I receive an email from PCGS advising me of the registry coins available from Great Collections for my dozens and dozens of PCGS Registry Sets. From week to week, nearly every coin changes and is fresh GC offerings. On the other hand, every week or two I believe I receive a similar email from PCGS on the coins available at David Lawrence that could help my sets. I believe many of them are Mr. Hansen’s dupes and I believe many are in auctions just like GC coins. But, these available coins keep appearing and re-appearing week after week, sometimes month after month, on the DL site. from the PCGS link. It gives me the impression that many of the great coins in the sets I collect are either illiquid or perhaps just priced too high in the email? I’m not sure, but I just want the DL team to know in my opinion it’s might not be the “greatest look” to have these great Registry coins from the various sets reappearing with each new email from PCGS (unlike the GC coins). Just an observation. And, there are many coins I would love to buy from DL if anyone there wants to reach out to me.

@rnkmyer1 said: @wondercoin: absolutely agree with your GC/DLRC observations. I get the same emails from the latter weekly with the same coins offered repeatedly. Observe many are Hansen coins.
This potentially explains something to me. I bought my biggest coin in a DLRC auction at a big price but several thousand dollars less than many would have paid. I spoke with a frequent buyer of these coins yesterday and he said if he knew about the auction he absolutely would have outbid me (and I believe him).
The coin had been on their sale list for ~6 months. I'm guessing many bidders didn't realize that they converted the sale to an auction.

I am speculating but based in my observation of Hansen, he is just learning. Learning to own solid, even high end coins for the assigned grade rather than maxed out for the grade. Sitting with JA as I have over the years, one can only be impressed with JA being a stickler for honesty and being a tough grader.
He did not “change his mind.” He is maturing as a bonafide quality over quantity collector.

Why run so deep into the registry if the goal is only to match Eliasberg? Hole filling argument really does not hold up either given multiple sets.
Understand appeal to good character argument. That alone does not explain 1) such an initial accumulation strategy, and 2) subsequent entry into the sales side of the market 3) followed by the acquisition of a financial stake in a market making grading company.
Objectively, there are signs of a market maker with an interest in numismatics. Appeal to character is a subjective response. Any objective information specifically addressing items 1-3 above would sure be welcome (genuinely).
When you buy whole collections, you naturally get a lot of duplicates. And the best way to solve that problem is to sell them. There's nothing remotely unusual about that.
According to Hansen: “Ethics and personal integrity are the foundation that I’ve built my life around, both personally and professionally. This priority extends into my personal coin collecting as well and motivates me to partner with CAC Grading in an effort to combat ‘gradeflation.’ While focusing on the highest quality coin possible, I learned many lessons along my collecting journey. But the idea that some of my coins may have issues or have been pushed grade-wise to achieve a certain end-result goes against every fiber of my being.”
In 2022, Albanese organized over 150 leading members of the numismatic community to expand their mission for accuracy and consistency by creating a new third-party grading and encapsulation service that was launched in 2023, CAC Grading.
Phrases/words such: advocating, “partner with,” “chosen CAC” and “start this process” are used. No mention is made of any role/financial stake in CAC's 2022 formation or in its current operations ......
Does raise the question--why?
For the why, is it totally impossible that he is telling the truth and going through this whole process for the exact reasons he stated? And, if so, why would he share any of his personal business deals? It's none of our business.
DLH sounds like @winesteven in all the best ways!!!
I just saw a video where his "2nd" set of proof Barbers got special CACG silver vanity labels and his first set will have gold vanity labels. DLRC is auctioning off the 2nd set.
I say good riddance from the PCGS registry and hope he is happy at CAC......where the "real" grades are....what a joke.
Combatting grade inflation is admirable, but I wonder how DLH will feel about the numerous coins in his collection that will fail to cross into CACG holders at any grade.

Most of my 20th Century silver coins are without toning, mostly highly lustrous blast white. Even though many/most have likely been dipped at some point, apparently it was done gently enough that EVERY coin I have that’s eligible for a CAC sticker has one!
So you’ll be mistaken if you think Hansen’s coins that are highly lustrous and blast white received preferential treatment from CACG. Two additional points: 1) I heard from a VERY reliable source that D. L. Hansen is paying the FULL amount of fees on the thousands of coins that he might cross to CACG, and 2) Hansen is aware that many of his high graded coins will only cross to CACG at grades lower than that on the current holders, but he’s ok with that, as he wants his coins to be “properly graded”, despite taking an expensive “haircut”!

It seems to me that one major point is being overlooked in all the sniping and responses being about Mr. Hansen’s motives in getting his coins graded at CACG.
The PCGS registry at some point will no longer include many leading sets as well as many leading coins. Maybe an opportunity for some that are sitting second or third.
