Here's an example of a coin that is worth the PCGS "problem holder" $100. fee

Chain Cent with Net Details

I bet this one sells for much more than it would have had it been holdered with NCS or ANACS (ICG). I think that difference is much more then the $100.00 fee PCGS charges to slab these 'problem' coins (and this one looks pretty decent for the issues it shares).

    Which just goes to show how strong Kool-Aid addiction is, or at least how much registry people will pay for the "right" plastic. I would think the authentication of NCS is every bit as good, and for a lot less than $100. But people are addicted to the right plastic.

    defintiely agreed. PCGS saying "PROBLEM'D" is better than NCS?

    koolaid? Or, respect for the service and/or registry?
    I would also agree that NCS would be the same for me....but there are some that respect pcgs more and some that want coins in the registry.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Once nice thing about the PCGS program is that it says "Genuine," not "Problem" or "Details." This way, there's no negative connotation with the coin which might allow the owner feel better about it. Yes, it's psychological but it may also work.

    Well, I did say Kool-Aid *or* registry. Or maybe peoplw who are just willing to pay a lot more to have all their coins in the same type of holder.

    This coin will sell for more in the PCGS plastic but the $100 fee is BSimage

    When a collector sends in a coin for certification under the regular submission for $30, he is paying not only for the grade but also if it is genuine / altered / damaged or any other problem. So can some one explain to me what the extra $70 is for?image

    I agree and it is in the same type slab as the graded PCGS coins.

  • Can these problem coins really be used in the registry? I wouldnt think so, where only the authenticity is guaranteed, but not the grade.

    With all due respect Bochi, some collector's need to start respecting themselves and their own judgments.

    As for all this touchy feely politically correct psychological cr@p (nothing personnel image ), maybe we should all stand shoulder to shoulder and ban plastic slabs in the first place because the production of this plastic leads to greenhouse gasses which kill the rain forests and make the oceans rise and will lead to the downfall of life as we know it.

    Do you have an example of a PCGS slab selling for more than the alternatives?

    I was wondering why it was 95 degrees today.

    Now I can officially blame PCGS and those lousy slabs.

    Yes, they can be used in the registry and score as a PO-1 for the purposes of registry points.

    It is yet to be seen if these have to be used as MS-70s for low-ball sets. image
