I bet it was done on time also!

Wasn't THAT long ago that they hit 8 million; no wonder they are months behind.

They said the 9 million coins are worth 11 Billion. That's an average of $1200 per coin. that's higher than I would have thought.

PutTogether

as for the average.........3 and 4 million dollar coins go a long way toward bumping the average up.

I wonder how many of those nine million are actual coins, and not resubmits.......too bad there is no way to tell.

I've noticed how each of these milestone slabs tend to be really cool coins. I wonder if the real 9,000,000th slab was a 2003 DCAM state quarter.

If it was I would trust they would slab it as such. If you can't trust them on this, then how can you trust them from switching coins etc.?

If you exclude the moderns, I wonder how many different coins have been graded? Or, said another way, what is the average number of times the same coin has been cracked out and resubmitted?

Probably hit 10,000,000 with the advent of the new nickel that would cost someone $27.05 to have it graded

Cameron, all it would take is creatively arranging the incoming submissions when it gets close to a milestone to guarantee it be a certain type of coin. It is something I see many companies do. I don't think it's a big deal, but I do wonder what it "might have been." Of course, the possibility could be that each of them is genuinely next in line, but I suspect that it might be a little skewed.

Nwcs,

I was thinking along the same line. I bet anything they make sure the milestone coin is a notable one. Can you imagine if the 9,000,000th coin would have been Madmarty's au-58 franklin or even worse a Braddick Ag-03 type coin.

With all the coins that go to PCGS for grading, do you think they pick and choose coins for their 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 coins. Or is just simply the luck of the draw?

Betta285

does anyone know what their 8,000,000th coin was?

airplanenut

Wasn't 8,000,000 an MS67FH Type 1 SLQ?

islemangu

For comparison wonder how many the other grading companies have done? For the less popular ones they probably wouldn't even truthfully inform as embarrassing/damaging in their line of work

SeattleSlammer

yes, they definitely pick a whopper coin for the big even number milestones.....just would look right with a MS61 Kennedy or something.....

RGL

I take it that does not include the 1 million coins awaiting grading?

Congrats to HRH and the rest of the PCGS gang.

Just think, if they had enough graders they could have reached this milestone two months ago.

BAJJERFAN

At 5% overgraded and 5% undergraded that means that there are around 900,000 coins in PCGS slabs that are graded wrong.
