Well I suppose orientation is important when dealing with a three sided coin.

"D'OH!!!!!!"
PCGS is a business, all about that bottom line.
OK, hmmm.... I sure would hate to have a true First Strike Coin certified by the US Mint as struck on the first day of production + have the *new* PCGS Orientation of Edge Lettering variant now deemed to be "Holy"
PCGS?
They are losing it...blind to the reality that the US Mint has now trumped them by offering true first strikes for the next 10 years on these Presidential dollars, denying what was going to be a nice revenue stream.
Instead of reacting and moving with the market, they dig in and with the proverbial 'head in the sand', they plow onward, trying to force thier own virtual reality on their intelligent, and now extremely skeptical customer base, with subjective Labeling schemes.
They almost seemed to be acting like....dare I say it?.....COIN DEALERS!
This would make a great case study for any B-School Class on how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Thanks for the link because this news is nowhere to be found on the PCGS Website that would an obvious page for such news!
WTF!
Why is it PCGS just can NOT create a Web Page entitled "What's New" and put this kind of information there??
What is it that no one at PCGS as the creative fortitude to copy the way MILLIONS of other companies do when they want to show customers new products and services to be offered?!!!
It is always a treasure hunt here for finding what is new information!
Absolute stupidity!
New information and policies are disseminated by Message Board Posts! Who ever keeps saying we have to be careful or "they will take the message board away" is numb to the fact that the company would collapse.
It would be akin to ripping apart the 'can and string' communication network that PCGS has established for broadcasting new information to it's customers. >>
It's right on the main page, pcgs.com, under
Is it possible that the delay from the US Mint is due to this problem and the US Mint is working on a solution so that all future Presidential Dollars will have the lettering standardized to one position?
If so, what will that do to the value of the G. Washington MS coinage?
Just some thoughts to think about.

"OK, it's almost unanimous against the idea. Let's do it!"
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
Then promptly spent them on tacos from the lunch "roach coach".
The tacos satisfied me more than the coins did.
Bravo.

$25 worth or roach coach tacos? That's a lot of tacos, even if it were $15 worth of tacos and $10 in heartburn medication.

<< <i>Glad a TPG finally dealt with this critical matter instead of wasting time on issues of lesser importance like crackout mania, grade bumps after dipping coins, marketing gimmicks based on when the Mint ships a coin, and blatantly AT coins in their holders.
Bravo. >>
As usual, we are on the same page, Ziggy.
