Thank you for this link you provided for us all. I read it and it is very interesting.
Can not wait to see how well this does. It is greatly needed because of all the
counterfeiting of rare coins in those areas and the current boom in rare China
coin sales! Thank you so much!!

Very interesting and probably savvy. The last JNDA Tokyo show (and I think the one before it) PCGS had a table. IIRC the one in 2010 had some literature, and in 2011 had a Japanese representative I did not talk to (she kinda reminded me of some of the gals from the car show--there for looks and smiling, though more conservatively dressed --some of ya'll would have enjoyed the car show! One word. Leather.).

In any case, the difference in amount slabbed product was incrementally/yet visibly noticably different as well (I am not counting Clark Smith--both years or NEN--2010 only). I wish I could go in 2012 .

Is this going to slow down turnaround times even more?

Touché!

I just hope they are not growing too fast and when the coin market tanks, the Asian operation closed and written off.
