PCGS is expanding BB descriptions.

I posted a message over at Q&A about the generic "Altered Surface" explanation PCGS uses for some BB'ed coins, here is Mr. Halls responce. Nice to see that there is some positive changes taking place.


"One of the new things we will be doing starting April 1 is expanded descriptions of the reasons for body bags. We will definitely say more than "altered surfaces" on the altered surface coins. We haven't made the final decision on which form these "coroner's reports" will take, be we will definitely give you a lot more info." DH

    Check this thread for more discussion on the topic.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    OK folks, as you know I don't submit coins so I'm depending on you to supply me with one of these new body bags. I don't expect anyone to go out of their way to get a body bag, but in a group this size and with all of the submissions that get done from here there will eventually be some body bags generated. When it happens I need it. (Unlike my reference slabs I do not expect my body bags to have the coins with them.)

    Please?
