Confusing PCGS Secure

Looking at PCGS Fees page, I see:
<< <i>* Coins Required for Secure Service: 1. All World (non-U.S.) coins except for Modern service level coins dated 1965 to date. 2. Any coin valued at $50,000 or higher. >>
That has to be wrong because it seems to say that unless a coin is worth $50,000 or more it can't be a U.S. Coin and can't be dated after 1965 to get Secure service.
But they can't mean that because I have US coins with that shield that are barely worth $100.00. So what DO they really mean here?
Also, when I google this, I see references to Secure Plus, but see nothing about that on the Fees page.

Thanks! They could have phrased that better
So what about SecurePlus?

It is my understanding that the Secure Service is actually called 'Secure Plus', regardless of whether the coin is graded with a plus symbol (i.e. MS 65+) or not (i.e. MS 65).

Sheesh! Could they possibly make it more confusing???
Service is required on World coins that are minted before 1965.
And all coins valued over $50,000.
