coinkid855

From an email:

"Genuine with Details. This is a new service that we are offering at no additional charge. You can now choose from three Genuine Service options. 1) Do not holder Genuine Coins; 2) Genuine with Details; 3) or the standard (default) Genuine service. Genuine with Details will print the coin problem as well as a details grade. We will not be using numeric grades. An example might be “Cleaned – XF Details”. New submission forms will be available in a few weeks however Genuine with Details is effective immediately, simply write it on your submission form. Note: you cannot mix Genuine services on one submission."

Copycats.

Funny how they were so adamant about not doing this in the past.

Doing a quick, 2 second, search with just GENUINE in the title, give this.....

Note that Ambro started the thread but it referenced what DW mentioned in a previous thread....so it was discussed at least twice

No worries, I wasn't aware of a rule in place that potential thread topics should be run through the SEARCH feature prior to posting either. I sure hope no one has used my reply that is to follow....





Interesting.

I never cared for ANACS' "net" grades because I always felt that the problem and the effect on the value was subjective.

Details is not a bad way to go. Isn't that was NCS does/did?

All grades below 70 are "net" grades

It's been discussed off and on for several years. (That they should consider it, not that they went ahead and did it.)

I like it. I'm a little surprised it's an option and not the rule. Guess I'll need to keep my decoder ring a while longer.

Just got my first genuine grades posted yesterday.
Bummer on the timing.
I could have learned a little more if PCGS assigned a grade to a questionable color piece and to cleaned one I missed.

How about applying this service to non-problem coins as well? Like this wouldn't be too big of a deal for anyone.

IrishMikey

Didn't someone say on the message boards recently that PCGS was the only "Pure"
grading service left, since they did not give a details grade on Problem coins?

Now what? And most importantly, will CAC sticker a problem coin with a details grade?

Just asking...
