PCGS add a new level of certification.
For pocket change, sewer salvage, Coinstar finds, and experimental modifications.
I suggested that they wouldn't even need sonic sealing as a "snap-together" slab should be sufficient. As an ECONOMY level, it could be a Ziploc baggie.
The submitter could designate his own category from the above conditions. If there were a form that could be downloaded, he could even print his own label to send in with the "coin."
The finalizer could be the mailroom person.
I think the service could be prices at about 5 bucks for snap holder and 3 bucks for the baggie.
And I want my cut off this new profit center.
And that's about all I can remember of the original pre-edit post.
Oh... just thought of another facet. "Cents" would not be on any labels. "Penny" would be the new nomenclature.
There.
Now if I get any hate mail......................................
@Kudbegud@topstuf sorry but the FBT sticker service is out of business, please see below.
As with the start up of any new self stickering company, things evolve rapidly.
The CEO's have changed the name of the self applied sticker to the WTF Sticker.
WTF =** Wearing The Fantastic**
Theese stickers can be applied youself, to any type of slab or baggie and are available in sheets of 100 for $1.00
With a newly formulated adhesive backing [super glue] these self applied stickers can now be applied directly to the coin in question if a slab or baggie is not available

Then we're both meanies.
I thought it was brilliant!

Except I did suggest commensurate REGISTRIES for all those categories. For a buck a listing.

@1630Boston well done. May I "borrow" your FBT for insertion, in the future, into a reply where appropriate?
You have my permission to use this one.

I'd opt for the 'baggie' on that one, just in case you want to wear it on a chain occasionally

I think most of the members you're proposal is geared for are too busy yanking chains at the moment to take advantage of it

NO ONE will trust unbaggied coins. ....NO ONE !!
Nothing says you cannot sticker it and THEN put it in a baggie, right

Did you think people will complain when the CAC buy price is below face value?
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Excellent idea .... and no point deduction for corrosion.
Corrosion could be a good growing medium for planting seeds.

Dear God... Please don't let this have been another CAC thread.
So... Who applied for a mail room position?
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Never hold your farts in, they travel up your spine and into your brain, and that is where sh**y ideas come from.....

I don't. I save them up for the forum.
