Digitally Graded, hmmm. I like these holders though, especially how you can easily see the coin edges.

Since grading boils down to assigning a number to a set of attributes, I think a computer grading is a good idea. At least it's consistent.

"physical" attributes such as lustre and strike, however I don't think the technology is anywhere close to having an ability to grade eye-appeal.
Would you need to slide the slab forward away from the slab behind it to lift it out of its box?
Sure, computer grading? All the way!

I agree the eye-appeal aspect is best left to collectors themselfs.Thats the gray-area
in grading too.What IS beautiful toning anyway.....Give me the technical grade and I,ll come up with grade
based that and what eye-appeal it has for me.
Then theres market grading..I,m not a big fan of that type of grading.It says a coin is `actually` a few ponits higher than it appears BECAUSE is a `rare` or soughtafter piece.Bologne.Just let the `demand` adjust the price,and not the exaggerating of the technical grade to drive the price.Doesnt it only serve to help dealers pocketbooks and hurt the buyers in the long run?.....hey guys....is that a cliff up ahead?
Holders with the same size coins can be stacked. the coin area has a ridge that fits into a recessed area in the back of the next slab. Due to the feet though every other slab has to be oriented 180 degrees from the previous one. Holders with different sized coins can not be stacked.
Their whole mission is based around being able to see the rim of a coin, which every collector wants to see...
EDIT: Geez, this guy has 34 of these auctions running with 1000 coins in each.

Russ,
I was noticing that very same thing the other night. I think he's the entire customer base for DCGS. (Or he's the entire company!)

Well, both goldtrader.com and digitalcoingrading.com are registered to Florida addresses. It does look a bit supicious. What is it about Florida that attracts so much nefarious coin selling activity?

The only thing I can think of would be preying on the elderly, but it seems that would be more on the "buying" end, old folks selling off coins to make ends meet, etc. Not to bag on Florida,(it's a beautiful state) but they do seem to have a disproportionate amount of scam artists working down there. Especially travel-related, I have received countless "free vacation" offers from Florida based companies. Makes one wonder....

Real-estate scammers are the best for this. They advertise houses in northern-state newspapers/mags etc with the free vacation come-on. An unsuspecting potential buyer is lured down here, wined and dined, shown some nice model homes, and is pressured to sign a contract to purchase. These people are housed in the company's timeshare or whatever, and are not left out of sight from company representitives. They do not have a rental vehicle as the company picks them up and drives them around "for free". They are not delivered a newspaper or other reference material which could easily inform them that their contract offer is way over-inflated by 10's of thousands of dollars compared to similar housing in the area.
So these uninformed people sign for the home, thinking it is a good buy, and it really is compared to prices they are use to from where they come from. The mortgage is controlled by the company, and the people have just been "legally" robbed once they sign. It will now take three or more generations for the appreciation on their new property to realize the money they spent on it. They are stuck with the house and the mortgage because no legit mortgage company will finance the home to cover the previously inflated mortgage.
I've seen those. who would want to end up rooming with the salesman.
My wife and I received two free airline tickets to fly anywhere in the US if we joined this nearby resort. They were also giving out free steak knives so we drove the 15 miles and they even had Lorne Greene giving the sales pitch by video. After we got the 1 hour tour, everyone was ushered into a room where they had a bunch of school desks where everyone sat and then the heckling began, "how much can you pay"
is what we heard the most. We had our deal down to five dollars a month to answer the fools question and the wife had blurted out, "how about 50 cents a month?" and others overheard it and there was a big laugh and we left but not before we got our steak knives. They can be so cunning with their talk, we just stuck to our guns.....we weren't signing anything. LOL That was
some 25 years ago after the wife and I got hitched....we'd do some of the craziest things like that to amuse ourselves.
