PCGS new service

Will the new Genuine holder that is being discussed on the lite side also be used for World Coins?

I would assume so ... I read the whole post and I still don't get what the big deal is.
Its just another service ... you'd swear some people are more interested in the "slab" than the coin.
I have a few coins that are NCS "genuine" would I care if the label was NGC or PCGS ..... no ....
after all they are "not graded" and I know that they have problems.
but I also know that my "graded" NGC/PCGS/ANAC coins do not.

It would be good for all those old crusty coins that simply don't come in slab-worthy conditions.

I think it's a pretty good idea, I suppose. Like Silvereagle said, I don't see what the big deal is.

Personally, I like the slabs for the storage. I sent in a few a while back that came back bagged - some I disagreed with, but the point is, I would have prefered the superior storage in return than a plastic flip. I can't really see what the drawback is.

It would definitely be a benefit to the registry, in my opinion.

I agree, I think its a logical move. There will be some that still crack them out and resubmit them hoping to get them in standard holders, but since your paying to have the coin slabbed...

I think by far the biggest threat to the PCGS empire is the Chinese counterfeit slabs. If they get too good and most collectors/ or novices can't tell the difference then the PCGS name will be dragged down and people won't trust in the safety and security of slabs.

To be sure NO
