DW announced on Oct 12 that PCGS is now offering "genuine with details". Hooray. Here is what he said:
-------------------
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.
-------------------
I love that Genuine-with-Details is finally here. But why keep the old way, with a cryptic code and no details, as the default?
Most (but certainly not all) coins that get "genuined" are not expected. C'mon...who's going to submit a coin for grading and write "if you decide it won't grade cleanly then please holder genuine-with-details"? Perish the thought! I won't jinx things by even mentioning the g-word.
Point is, we're not going to see many of these genuine-with-details holders so long as submitters must ask for it. So please PCGS, make genuine-with-details the default so we no longer need to carry PCGS decoder cards in our wallets...it's really geeky.
