What, no MadMarty on the video screen?? But, we did get our very own, Charmy!!!! image

David Lisot, Executive Producer of Coin Television has put together a montage of comments from industry leaders following the PCGS announcement of its New Secure + coin grading service

The PCGS Secure Plus process uses laser scanning to help detect coins that have been artificially enhanced since their last certification, combat “gradeflation” and excessive resubmissions of the same coins, and can also be used to help identify recovered stolen coins. Additionally, PCGS graders can now designate deserving, superior-quality coins as “Plus” within their respective grades, an important distinction when there are big differences in value between one grade point and the next.


The following industry professionals are included in this video as follows:

Don Willis – President of PCGS
David Hall – Founder of PCGS
Steve Deeds – President of Bowers and Merena Inc.
Jim Halperin – Co-Chairman of Heritage Auction Galleries
Ira Goldberg – Goldberg Rare Coins
John Feigenbaum – President, David Lawrence Rare Coins
Mark Salzberg – Chairman, NGC
Charmy Harker – The Penny Lady
Tim Carrol – Numismatic Financial Corp
Jeff Garrett – President, Mid American Rare Coin Gallery
Mike Bianco – Mike Bianco Rare Coins

    I couldn't get the video to play on either browser I tried (IE8 or Firefox). I'll try again tonight.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
