No reply necessary, I was just curious to see what everyone was had plans to do in the short term as far as submitting coins.

    I'm ambivalent. I admit that I believe the FS designation to be bogus as a qualitative factor, and since PCGS has denied me the opportunity to make money by playing that game, I am not sure how much I'm going to play the slabbing game at all.

    I find that Saflips allow me to handle my Plats (or other high grade Modern bullions) when I want to, and I can store them in a much smaller space than I can when they are slabbed. I do enjoy handling my coins - even with cotton gloves.

    On the other hand, when I need confirmation that I've got a high grade coin that can be sold at a significant premium - then yeah, it's gonna get graded.

    I am still cautious about this whole grading thing, but I do have a membership and have been gathering coins to send in.
    I will try to take full advantage of my membership before next May and then decide whether to renew or not at that time.

    Oh yeah, I voted PCGS.

    I have to use NGC to grade my So Called Dollars

    since PCGS does not handle them. However, regular

    coins in my classic holdings still go to PCGS.

    No First Strike is the first reason for not sending in coins.

    The second, when I get my grade as a 69 and I compare it to a shiny spot riddled 70, it's pretty much a betting game the small timer can't win.
