CCE stands for Certified Coin Exchange.

I don't think PCGS wants to compete with CCE though. They own that company already.

The $108 per year is more than I am willing to pay. The information will never be as comprehensive as the latest publications from specialist books and articles for a given series.

I saw a demo, thought it was informative, but not one of things I am willing to pay for. Just kind of how it goes with me.

Not at this time, or the foreseeable future.

I have no problem in principle paying $9 for a month for coinfacts. Granted, some of the information there is meaningless (pop reports). Plenty more is quite meaningful (rarity, auction appearances), even if there may have some issues with the accuracy (look at the survival estimate given for the S-VDB on the tour page. I don't think that will help you get anyone to sign up.) Other information is unknown (die varieties?). For most collectors, I suspect that an occasional month of access is all that is needed; I don't think most would need year-round access.

My issue, as should not surprise anyone who has followed my posts, is where the money is going to. Not being particularly slab friendly, just as I will not spend money to slab a coin, I will not spend money with a slabbing company.
