Are the number of PCGS coins at your local dealer dropping?

291fifth

Have PCGS's continuing service problems started to affect submissions by store dealers? It seems to me I am seeing fewer PCGS coins than before. I hardly ever see and "economy" level coins in PCGS holders anymore when visiting my local dealers. Any comments or observations?

It would be nice to have a shop/dealer to visit!
Oh well Ebay I am on my way.

Of the 15 or so dealers that show up here for local shows and the 2 in town you will hardly ever see a PCGS slabbed coin. ANACS and NGC are the TPG's of choice. So to answer your question, no it couldn't hardly drop any lower. They buy most of their inventory for resale from other dealers in the Midwest at other shows.

Two local dealers I use have stopped sending orders to PCGS in favor of NGC because of the delay (except for submissions from customers who want PCGS, of course).

So yes, fewer PCGS coins are filling their displays.

I have no dealers that aren't over 100 miles away, so I can't answer this one.

Ebay time!

-I- had more PCGS slabs than my local dealer, who had none...

The number of PCGS coins at the dealers around here hasn't changed at all.

The two shops here are both NGC shops, so the number hasn't changed.
