Does PCGS has some new competition?

FYI--Here is a grading company in which I have not seen before.

I like the part where they state that they have over 100 years of experience with rare and valuable coins, but don't grade anything except 1950 to present proof coins.
As Clint Eastwood said, "A man's got to know his limitations"

Glad they do.

Apparantly you haven't seen any local shops advertising alot of years experience!! That would be a combined total of years of all concerned, not one person or company!!! I would love to know how many 100 year old men are grading at any company!

Maybe we should at least give them the benefit of the dought. Has anyone seen some of their work? It could possibly be good. Remember, the other grading services all started from scratch. I'll bet there was a lot of apprehension back then also. Just a thought.

True, although PCGS had big names behind them doing the grading. What big names do these people have? Not to imply that they are not capable, but there is something to be said about the image of credibility you have when a big name or two endorses you.

I just stumbled on them... I don't know how they are, I just thought I would FYI. Hey, you have to start somewhere.
