New service? $20 reholder.

Placid

Reholder (PCGS MS70 & PR70 Graded coins only) $20 approximately 10-20 days.

How long has that been around?

Russ

I first noticed it a couple months ago, but I don't know how long it's been listed. It makes sense, though.

It's $20.00 only for MS/PR 70 coins? How come?

Russ

Likely because extra care and handling is involved in cracking out a "perfect" coin.

Russ, NCNE

Strange. I'd expect the same care for any coin.

sTONER

MS70 ,,you hit it on the head,, all coins should be treated equall???STEVE

If they damage a PR69 modern proof or MS69 modern commem while cracking it out they can easily replace it since they're a dime a dozen. Not so easy with coins graded 70. Looking at it from a labor/cost/business standpoint it makes perfect sense.

I think, but not for certain, that NGC charges $40.00 for reholder of MS/PR 70 coins.

THIS IS A RE-CALL TO MOVE THE POPS DOWN TO 69's HA HA

LouisCamp

They can't find PR70's? They don't look different from the 69's. They would just take a 69 and call it a 70.

You think they would lie and replace a perfect coin with a coin that was not perfect?

Russ - I luv 'ya man, but this is ridiculous.

I've submitted colonials and other rare early federals that, while they are not MS70s, are the finest known by a couple of grades and are totally, completely and utterly irreplaceable no matter how much cheese you've got. That Church Penny I posted about a while ago is the finest known by 15 - 20 POINTS, and the next closest one is in such tightly held hands that it couldn't be removed with even the strongest lubricant.

Doesn't that deserve a similar level of care as an MS70 modern?

Russ

<< <i>Doesn't that deserve a similar level of care as an MS70 modern? >>



No.

Well then, never mind.

Lets hope for $20, this guy will put gloves on.

WaterSport

Might as well be $5.00...who even HAS a proof 70 PCGS coin!

Russ

CCU,

Actually, my assumption is that on a coin of the magnitude you outlined, great care would automatically be exercised during the reholder process. I'd also imagine that when one like that comes in, the graders gather around and drool a little bit while it's in house.

Another thought occurs to me, though. Perhaps the higher reholder charge is to discourage submissions of earlier graded PR70/MS70 coins just to get them in current holders. There are a hell of a lot of coins out there that don't actually make the grade compared to what is coming out now.

Is that a screwdriver he is pushing that coin into the holder?

Maybe with 70 coins they use a different tool.

Russ

Nope. Compressed air nozzle.

Actually, I think it's their high-tech state-of-the-art fingerprint tool.
