    The annoucement has been made, it's just not on the site yet...it was live at 10:30 Central time.

    I'm surprised no one who was there has uploaded the jist of it to the forums yet.

    I know what the Big One is. I just talked to someone in Ft Worth.

    Too many have guessed it already...

    So much for a big surprise.

    Plus sign grading for high-end coins.

    A new service level for very high-end stuff ($100K + mandatory) that includes high-resolution digital scans as a re-grade deterrent.

    At least that's the jist of what folks are taking away from the in-room announcement. That, and confusion.

    So much for that $1000 check, huh! image

    Depends on the # of correct "guesses" or whatever

    Like, plus sign grading for coins that are .7, .8, .9; they will get the plus.

    edited to add: I'm not sure whether the "plus" coins also get the new service "digital scan" or not.

    and, gosh, I sure hope my "contact" wasn't pulling my leg... one thing he did share with me is that there are a lot more questions than answers at this point.

    CLCT stock is up 250% today on the rumor!

    Hey, if it's just a plus sign and/or $100K coin digital scans that will be the biggest letdown of all time.

    What really need are digital scans on coins valued at over $5K or so where most of the "playing around" occurs. How many people are messing with $100K coins?

    so far, i'd hardly even call that a little one... the news might make a difference on 0.01% of the coins out there. hope there's more...

    The two places I looked showed the stock to be up 1.8% today, not 250%.

    There must be more...
  • And that is exactly the reason it should be earth shattering.

    I really hope there is more to this Big One than that.

    If that is it... I want to be the first to nominate DH for Drama Queen Nerd of the Year... (not to mention some of us for getting all caught up in the hype)...

    For a "BIG ONE" from way out in Left Field, I certainly hope there is more to it than has been alluded to thus far. BIG .... WE WANT BIG!! image

    So when is the "announcement" going to be made? And the home page of PCGS.com is still a curtain, I thought it already happened at 10:30am???

    I see none of the above would have taken "two years" to finalize.

    My bet is to wait for the PCGS Web Page to update so that hard facts can be viewed instead of speculating on second hand hear say. (how do you spell that?)
    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 many. The only one I can think of is the PCGS MS67 93-S Morgan that got dipped. Oh, and the Gobretcht that was a dipped out POS, got AT'd and into a PCGS holder.

    I still believe Secure Plus to be a little one until it PCGS gets rid of the regular service. Hard to be a big one when people can pay less and avoid the more in-depth look at the coins. However, once all coins coming into PCGS have to have the Secure Plus treatment, then it might be a "big one."

  • Is that really what this is all about?

    This was the big one alright; the big let down.
