<< <i>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.

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

I agree! I want to know If I should continue waiting for the announcement to submit my coins or submit now. I feel i'm being left in the dark with only a little match way way way way way way in the distance. I can handle christmas coming once a year on December 25th but not if you start talking about it on Jan. 1st.! JL

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"?

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...
I see they took 3 full pages in the new Coin World for the "big announcement" I am sure the biggest thing on that day will still be my sons 16th birthday.

I KNOW I KNOW!! there going to have price guids for ALL WORLD COINS and not just U.S coins !?!?!?!?!? Would love to find out what my 2003 $10 gold NewZealand ONE RING coin is worth since they are limited to 1,300 world wide
After carefully analyzing the profitable collectible coin market, PCGS will now partner with HSN to 'colorize' any coin with a 'Genuine" designation for an additional low fee and include a special 'colorized' designation.
"I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way." - Franklin Pierce Adams
perhaps every coin valued at 1,000 dollars or more could be graded for free by PCGS? this would mean many more coins would be submitted and therefore nearly all of the valuable ones would end up in PCGS holders over time.
or maybe there will be a huge influx of young people and women into the hobby!
realistically though i'm sure it has something to do with photography and/or the internet as these tools are now essential to this great hobby.
For those that don't know, I am starting pharmacy school in the fall.
PCGS developed its own alternative to Acetone for dipping. Not only is it safe to use in an enclosed environment, you can also drink it when your done - implementing the idea of drinking the "kool-aid".

Well, since DLRC has it's own TPG with DGS wouldn't it be cool if PCGS set up their own auction house to compete with Ebay, DLRC and HA? DLRC is okay, but I think at this point in time, it's safe to say that everyone loathes Ebay. So I hope that's what the big one is!
"you won't get it because a major part of what we'll be doing comes from way out in left field", this opening statement and your pcgs handle "homerunhall" leads me to think that pcgs will be grading sports memorabilia or forming a baseball team----------BigE
PCGS perfects computerized grading which has multi-purpose use as follows.
Coin is pre-graded by computer before the three coin-in-hand experts take their own shots, thus providing more uniformly consistent grading.
The same technology measures depth of residual luster and detects coin doctoring through previously unknown diagnostic characteristics.
High quality images of obverse and reverse are a by-product of the technology by default and the images are automatically uploaded to PCGS web site where potential bidders/buyers can pre-verify a PCGS slabbed coin is authentic for a nominal $1 fee.
Coins returned in genuine slabs benefit via technology providing all problems detected that warranted no grade, thereby reducing submitter frustration like "What the...??? Exactly what the %#@& was wrong with this coin?"

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