Are you planning on taking advantage of PCGS CC offer?

Most have seen the new offer-cut and pasted below. Are you planning on taking advantage of this offer? Does this include varieties or is it specific to date/mint only? Thanks



PCGS CoinFacts™ is compiling a Condition Census for every United States coin... a list of the ten finest known specimens for all U.S. coins including Colonials, Patterns and Territorials. It's a massive multi-year project. A lot of the work has already been done and you can view it at pcgscoinfacts.com. But there's still a lot of work to do, including imaging all of the Condition Census coins. We need images and if you have a Condition Census coin, we can image your coin and promote it on the PCGS CoinFacts website. So ask yourself...

Is your coin one of the finest known of its variety?

Would you like to have a professional photograph of your coin?

Would you like to have your coin recognized as part of the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census?

If you answered yes to each of these questions, then we have an offer for you! And there are two easy ways you can participate in this special offer:

Submit your coin for grading through PCGS Secure Plus™ at the standard fee, and; if it is a Condition Census candidate, we will take a TrueView™ photograph at no additional charge (a $20 savings). Your coin will then take its place of recognition as a member of the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census. The TrueView photograph will of course be available to you as well.
OR

Submit your coin simply for photographing and, if it is a Condition Census candidate, we will take a TrueView photo and reholder your coin in a PCGS Secure Plus holder for only $20 (a $20 savings). Your coin will then take its place of recognition as a member of the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census. The TrueView photograph will of course also be available to you.
Plus, if you have a Condition Census coin photographed under this special offer we will give you - at no additional charge - a one-month subscription to PCGS CoinFacts! Or if you're already a PCGS CoinFacts subscriber we will extend your subscription one month for free! (Limit one free month subscription per person.)

This is a limited-time offer. In the case of ties for Condition Census, coins will be acknowledged in the order they are received.

Give your coins the recognition they deserve by becoming part of the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census!

To take advantage of this offer, simply complete your submission form as usual and write "Condition Census Offer" in the "Other" box at the top of the submission form. If you have any questions call PCGS Customer Service at 800-447-8848.

    Would you believe I am just now on my way to the Post Office to ship a box to PCGS? I did not notice this CC offer. There is a chance I have some coins that fit the bill.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    If it is on a "first come, first served" basis for the coins, are they really "condition census"?
    What is a higher grade, better looking, one comes through a few months later?

    It is a snapshot in time, and that's ok since they are working with what they have, but it should be billed as such.... "condition census for what was available at that time".

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I wonder if the offer applies to varieties that PCGS recognizes?
    When in doubt, don't.

    No, if they want to use my coin then let them pay for everything.

    Just called customer service to ask about whether this Condition Census top ten would only include PCGS holdered coin. Answer: Yes.

    Maybe if they also regraded my coins too.

    But I'd be crazy to send in my top pop coins under this offer. For example, if I have a pop 4/0 MS66 coin, and I do this, my coin will still be a pop 4/0 but it'll now be in a Secure Plus holder. Since it's in a SP holder, everyone will now assume my coin was rejected for the plus grade when in reality it wasn't even considered for such a plus grade. No thanks. I would consider it for sure if I knew my coins could come back with a plus if deserving.
