    PCGS Becomes Official Grading Service of the U.S. Mint

    When PCGS became the first grading service to grade and holder a new 2009 $20 Ultra High Relief Gold Coin, officials at the United States Mint were duly impressed. PCGS President Don Willis recently negotiated an exclusive 5-year agreement with Mint officials, and as a result, PCGS will grade and encapsulate all coins produced by the Mint over the next five years.

    That COULd happen. But with their luck, the mint will be shut down due to metal shortages shortly after.

    What a Dream!


    But it'll never happen because if it were even remotely possible, I'm sure that those TV Folks would have figured out a way of doing it! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Not at all. Those machines can be adjusted for many different items. The problem is when Yaha and his boys hook a chain up to the Gold Coin vending machines and floors the gas, that's the only problem I see..

    BTW.. I will return all coins graded less than a 70 grade..image

    Geez, I guess I'm just going to have to consider every thread posted today as being BS.

    One a side note, this has already happened in several other countries (New Zealand & Poland I believe) what to stop it happening here?

    Sorry but this is the dumbest idea I've ever seen on this forum and that says a lot.

    PCGS will be offering a Wine Grading service. image

    The email says :

    "In an effort to diversify the company's product portfolio to include even more collectors, Collector's Universe will add Wine Grading and authentication starting June 1, 2009, pending the company's ability to slab the wine bottles... "

    It goes on to say that the wine grading room will be off limits to PCGS customer service personnel. This is a relief of monumental proportions. Soon enough , YNs will be complaing that they're illegal.
