    I really hope it's an alternative to eBay.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Here are my next two guesses. Hope we aen't allowed one per post. Sorry in advance.

    1. Labels with urainium on/in them. It startedt in the 1800's, but, continues today in the glass industry. They add urainium to glass and it tints the glass to a yellowish color. When exposed to black light, it glows a bright green. This could help prevent counterfitting.

    2. Imprinting all PCGS coins with DNA. This is done with baseballs along with hologram labels. This imprinting is non harming to the items, could have the PCGS serial number placed on them. When cracked out, this DNA could help in tracing the coins. What if your coins are stolen at a show, home, etc. The theif can break out the coins from the slabs and sell them raw. Or they can resubmit them to PCGS for recertification. When newly graded, they can be sold without tracing them right now. But with this new method, tracking is very possible. This can/has been very lucretive. Or, the coins are sold to a dealer. Since they are raw, the dealer knows no better. He sells the coin to a collector and they submit it to PCGS. Or he/she submits it to gain a huge profit. The DNA is invisable. Thusly, when presented to PCGS, a log is maintained. They can see the coins are stolen, alert the local authorities/FBI and an investigation is conducted. The theif is caught unknowingly by a mark. This is the same as Low Jack on a car in a way.

    Just my fifty cents. Ray

    As in, each coin will be graded by a computer? PCGS does have a patent on this I think.

    I gave up after about 300 posts, but has anyone suggested slabbing coin rolls? Perhaps they will use an X-Ray machine to determine what coins are in the roll, and what condition they are in? They would be slabbed in a very large slab, this called the "Big One"?

  • PCGS will start a licensing procedure for PCGS dealers.image
  • I think the change to the serial number on the slab adding 'additional information' may be a clue. Perhaps PCGS will be assigning a number to surface and strike like NGC ancients...

    well, after all the anticipation....


    it better be HUGE....


    anyway, I'm still working for either the $1000 or $5 to just go away...



    PCGS inspires the YN new members with an educational kit and a free collectors start up kit for the modern minted business strikes of their choice.


    PCGS will cross for half the current price... unless it is NGC then it is 1/4th the current price.

    I don't know about slabbing it, but you could probably use it for crackouts. More like, cutouts.
