Why is PCGS having an Invitational in Colorado Springs ? Do you think the graders want to grade coins on top of Pikes Peak.Perhaps if they get high enough the grades will be elevated ?

You think ANA will allow a PCGS to grade on sight at their museum when NGC is their official grading service?
I say this because a few of the key coins in PCGS slabs in the museum have both sides of the label covered up so you can't see the PCGS label.

Are you serious?
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Do they do the same with NGC coins?

No.

None of the slab labels are covered in the exhibits at the Money Museum - regardless of the company (of which only NGC and PCGS have encapsulated coins in the exhibit).
Edited to add: I checked with the Museum staff this morning and at one time a few of the PCGS slabs did have covered labels . . . but none are covered now nor are there plans to cover any labels in the future.
PCGS did not do any onsite grading at the ANA. The Invitational was held at the Broadmoor hotel.
A reception was held at the ANA for the Invitational guests who were interested in visiting the Money Museum and Library.

Thank you, Dr. Lane Brunner of the ANA, for promptly addressing the absolutely false claim posted earlier on this message board thread that some grading insert labels are currently covered at the museum.
If you have not visited the ANA Money Museum in several years, you are missing two floors of spectacular new, professionally executed exhibits created by Lane, Doug Mudd and others now on the ANA team. Verrrrry impressive!

I had no intention to start a rumor. I just posted what I saw this year in the exhibits during the ANA Summer Seminar. There was a PCGS colonial in the upstairs "Barter and Bits" exhibit with both sides of the slab label covered, and another PCGS slab the same way downstairs. I walked around with JP Martin and remember asking him why they were covered up.
