    Okay, since we are left to guessing, who wants to PREDICT the actual TIME of the announcement?

    Seriously, why didn't they wait until the 18th at the PCGS luncheon to announce this big surprise?

    I wonder if the announcement will happen at 12:00 AM Eastern or 12:00 AM Pacific...or many many many terrible hours after...keeping us awake all night wondering. image

    Does this mean that you could be paid $2.75 to spill the beans? This would be enough to pay back the $1.25 and still have more than that original amount by the sum of .25 which is a 20% increase to your bottom line. image

    << <i>How about a QRcode on the back of the coin with information on the coin. Something that can be scanned with any decent cell phone with an app (iphone is RedLaser) Have that linked to a PCGS database that can be pinged to check to see if the coin is stolen.

    I have a QRcode on the back of my business card, you just scan it, it gives you allt he info you need AND it will allow you to hit a button to create a new contact from the info that was just scanned.

    Talk about cool! Also, how about a PCGS hotline where people can document stolen coins with a hotline people can call to check.

    Anyone with a phone scanner, scan the coin below, it's pretty cool how much information you can put into it. Let me know if you find anything wrong image

    Alright already, I have been staring at this block for 25 minutes now and no hidden picture has emerged.

    I think the thread title is "PCGS CoinFacts Announcement"; however, most people here guess the announcement has something to do with grading. I really hope this huge announcement has something to do with PCGS including more information about foreign coins in CoinFacts. My subscription is set to renew at the end of the month and if they start adding information about foreign coins I plan on upgrading to Diamond level to get access to CoinFacts. For now, I'm on the fence...

    Well now it's 7:10AM in Cali and still no announcement. He worked the online community into a frenzy and wants to just sit back and play with gold coins while sipping on his cup of Joe while watching the online community squirm. Geez, there is going to be an angry online mob soon. Some people stayed up all night refreshing their web browsers every 30 seconds...and now what...NOTHING! Maybe they have decided not to announce anything because after reading this thread they realized it would not live up to the expectations of the members and they are going back to the drawing board? image

    all varieties with diagnostics and pictures will be included.


    if they go down to including varieties not recognized on the label, but found in the CPG and recognized by CONECA then I might just go for it.

    That would be sweet BUT CONECA would need to make publically available photographs concerning all the Varieties they have currently attributed. Textual descriptions leaves a lot of interpretation open to the human imagination!
