Just read the annual report. PCGS anticipates frading 1,241,000 coin in 2004. At that rate, the 20-millionth coin will be graded in about 8 years - 2012. Took 18 years for the first 10-mil.

What do you want to bet it will be a classic rarity.....image

Other interesting volume stats for 2004:

Sportscards - 998,000
Autographs - 68,000
Stamps - 16,000

    I will estimate a slight slowing down in the last 5 of those years and say 7 years 4 months!

    It probably growing exponentially. If it keeps that growth up they will consume all of the plastic in the world in a few years and grade every coin ever made.
