Poll: What level membership do you have with PCGS?

Goldbully · December 29, 2014 8:11AM

As most of you know, membership fees are going up on January 1, 2015.
I feel that this poll and thread will be beneficial to those who are on the fence or contemplating upgrading their membership.
I upgraded to the Diamond Level even though my Silver Level doesn't auto renew until March 28, 2015.
PCGS kindly added the three months to my Diamond Membership......this can only be done with a CSR at PCGS.

My Platinum set is grandfathered in so it won't change.

Platinum - the 8 free gradings pay for it but I passed on the coin facts.

I will probably either downgrade or delete my CC Platinum membership before the anniversary date. Even over just the past 12 months, CLCT has gained substantial value in the market, with a 6.16% dividend yield currently. If PCGS finds it necessary to raise fees under these circumstances, it gives the appearance that they care more about shareholders than customers. Just my humble opinion.

No membership, no plans to get one.

(meanwhile, waiting on grades for my coins sitting at PCGS)

Hi Ho SILVER.....been riding that horse for years.

Platinum for seven years. Why change now?

I have been a Diamond Level Member for the past four years. For me, the value of Coin Facts is easily worth $25 / month, making the 8 free submissions free. Just my perspective.

For me, it's the Silver....Just like too many raw coins and submit to few...

I went Gold. First timer here.

Not exactly sure why. I didn't try to cipher out what would be best for me.
I did by into the hype of rising membership for one reason.

I surely can round up some submission worthy coins and a possible conservation candidate too.

I got an email receipt but no other info. I assume I'll get something in the mail?

Silver for this past year. I usually only send in a few crossovers and TrueView the coins a have that don't previously had it accomplished.

Type2 · December 29, 2014 12:59PM

I don't see lead. That's the one I bought.

Dave99B · December 29, 2014 1:02PM

Gold for me.

MGLICKER · December 29, 2014 1:55PM

I have a CU membership, does that count? (where's the, just trying to be cute emoticon)

pcunix · December 29, 2014 7:42PM

I was Gold, but switched to Silver this year as I attend no shows and submit infrequently.

In addition, the lost efficiency of only submitting 4 or 8 coins on a single submission and the per submission fee and S&H makes it more expensive to buy anything more.

That being said, I also subscribe to CoinFacts.

Platinum for 3 years now. This last year I sent in about 50 coins for myself, just to weed out my personal collection and sell the lesser pieces. Its a good feeling to sell stuff off to buy one nice coin.
